Khabib couldnt stop smiling when he faced off with Max........

[Serge421]

Max too skinny to compete with Khabib.

Khabib's reaction is mine when I get my daily viewing of UFC 229.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Khabib was having evil thoughts of how easy he would maul him!

 

[faustian]

Doesn't diminish it at all. Max was going to continue and was confident he would make weight. On 6 days notice. He doesn't control the commission.

Meanwhile...

Eh you're missing the point. Max has to cut ungodly amounts of weight to make 145 so him taking a title fight opportunity at 155 with nothing to lose isn't really the brass balls scenario you're making it out to be here. This is more like Conor fighting Alvarez than Wand fighting Hunt

 

[TR1]

The funny thing is half of Sherdog was predicting what a tough fight this would have been for Khabib.

 

[flowoftruth]

i think moreso its because he liked max... hard to stay serious with such happy-go-lucky guy

Eh actually you're missing the point. It was 6 days notice. He stepped up and took the fight but the commission stopped him. Very few people would step up and take a fight at a higher weight class.

As for comparing Conor-Alvarez to Max-Khabib...



Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Serbinator85]

Out of all possible opponents of khabib, Max would be a baby gazelle for khabib. I knew it would have been a massacre. Max lucky he got pulled. Would have been worst beating ever

 

[Herwald]

A FW striker, just like most of his resume.

You're not wrong lol.

This topic Hahhaaa tears in my eyes hahhaaa

 

[feelingfine6 9]

Right but the commission having to step in because Max was cutting too much weight kinda diminishes the whole having big balls for moving up thing

He was fighting khabib in a higher weight class. He was moving up...

Its got nothing to do with what weight he walks about at

Thanks for the laugh.

And yet he couldn't fight because he was too big while moving up

I guess it was super ballsy of Rumble to move up from WW and miss weight for his fight vs Vitor at MW lol

 

[BigTruck]

I think khabib mightve literally thrown him out the octagon had the fight taken place

 

[Krixes]

Max is the man but Khabib was gonna break his own takedown record in that fight.

 

[Stagliano]

Lol wtf

 

[chinarice]

Max was so overrated at this point that sherdoggers thought only Khabib could possibly beat Max at 155 and many thought Max had a chance of beating Khabib.

lol

 

[Elcucringy]

That would've been so brutal to watch especially as a Max fan.

 

[ExitLUPin]

You're not wrong lol.

Dustin has 11 fights in his career @ FW and 22 @ LW. He literally has double the LW fights and started his career @ LW too. Only dropped down on short notice to fight Grispi who was the #1 contender to fight Aldo and then stained weight draining himself. He isnt a FW

Johnson has 4 fights @ FW and missed weight there too.

Barboza has 2 fights @ FW...........

Conor I guess technically was/is but everyone knows he auschwitzed himself to make 145

Tavares relatively for the past/current era is the only real FW he fought and he was a gurappler anyways who gave giant FW Ortega a FOTY back and forth
