Jean Silva should fight Max Holloway

[Rhood]

He's one of the most active fighters in the FW division.
If he knocks out Max Holloway, then he definitely deserves a title shot.

Future Prediction: People will claim that Topuria ran from the Featherweight division because he didn't want to fight Jean Silva.

Max isnt fighting at FW anymore

At LW?

Silva v Murphy for title shot?

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

That’s a fun fight, but Max will piece him up and another contender gets eliminated

And if Max wins?

Matchmaking has to be done from multiple perspectives:

Building contenders to create new stars/title contenders

Putting on fights the fans want to see

Fights that make sense and respect what the established fighter has earned

Jean Silva is an exciting guy to watch so far. But he has done nothing to deserve a fight with Max.
Max gets nothing from a fight with Silva. Max is ranked at the top and had to fight his way up to get there. Silva should be matched with someone around the top 10 mark. He just beat Mitchell who is a 15-20 range guy. Lets see him beat #10 and then someone in the 7-9 spot and then #5 and see where he is at then. Cherry picking one fight agaisnt the #1 ranked contender to leapfrog into that spot just doesn't sit right.

Jean murders him at this point

And if Max wins?

Volkanovski vs Holloway 4 baby!

If Holloway wins that then we get a 5th fight!
