Max Deserves Bread

Max is one of those fighters that gets my casual fan friends hitting me up. Dude deserves to be paid. Dude had his moment after that all time great performance and he just promoted the big PPV coming up. Class act and company man. Pay that dude.
 
Who knows what Max will be eating if The Shoopers get to this thread.
 
Did Holloway get divorced? I seem to remember him having a partner and his son in attendance most fights. I don’t think she’s in the picture anymore.
 
a goat that failed against Conor, Dustin (twice), Volk (twice) lol :)

Aldo is the featherweight GOAT. His reign at the top is unrivaled.

We don't have a consensus on the term GOAT
For me, Max grew up in the UFC fighting dogs. Dustin Porier, Ricardo Llamas, Conor Mcgregor, Cub Swanson, Charles Oliveria... Aldo, Pettis, like the list just goes on. To me... it's not so much about how long a fighter can go undefeated. It's who they fight... and how they fight. Max would have put away pretty much everyone on Aldo's roster and we know that. Dude's out setting records and probably gonna take the belt back. MMA fans have short term memory. They remember him losing to Volkov and having a war with Porier.. That doesn't drop his stock one bit. A questionable split decision and a competitive war with a top 3 in the weight class above you?

Not to mention... he beat Aldo twice.

Max beat Volk the second time and this would have counted as a title defence so really it’s 9 to 5, which is still a big difference.

And before you say, the judges got it wrong bud. They get it wrong all the time.

During Aldo's run he beat Edgar, Swanson, Faber, Lamas, Jung, Mendes, Brown. In his prime he looked unstoppable. Max not so much. I believe prime Aldo beats Hollaway and so does his career.

Explain your math. How if you gave Max the win in the second, which incidentally I disagree with, would it have been a title defence? It would have won him the title back. You don’t seriously think he won the first fight with Volk do you? Haven’t seen anyone try to back up such a ridiculous claim.

Is this my first strawman argument of 2021?

All that matters is that Max outstruck Volkanovski in their second fight yet the judges gave it to Alex for no reason. Like with Jones vs Reyes, they flip flop on their judging criteria so you never know what they’re actually judging the fight on. It’s like they’re saying “guess the number I’m thinking of” and you do, but they lie and say it’s something else. I guess that Australian market is much more lucrative than the Hawaiian one.

lmfao, Australian with Volk profile pic... wish I saw that before engaging.
