Max Holloway already starting mind games with Khabib before UFC 223?

[Arm Barbarian]

Trying to outrun Khabib on the tready while they are all in the same gym? Saying, "I can out-cardio you?"

Doubt that is going to bother Teh Eagle, tbh.

But Max does have some church-bell sized stones for taking this fight on short notice.

If by some miracle he pulled it off, he would be a legend.

"Big Drama Show" Max "GGG" Holloway.

the end where it says "this picture was taken after conor kod aldo" and khbib is there, that shit is intense

max is an awesome fighter. i just hope if he loses this it doesnt somehow throw him off his game cuz hes been dominating 145 and ortega is waiting. gotta be on your A game for that guy.

doesnt seem like the guy that will let that bother him though, he just wants to step in and show hes one of the few legit guys that mean it when they say theyll throwdown anytime anywhere and wont reject a fight.

i think its gonna be a closer fight then a lot of people think. both guys like to walk down their opponent and drown them so to speak. khabib overwhelms guys on the ground while max overwhelms guys on the feet. both guys are tough, have good cardio, are determined to win and are gonna be tough to finish. i think this fight goes to decision with khabib winning a UD.

Max playing mind games?

Yea, something tells me his strategy is to take a beating and hope Khabib gasses lol

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Whatever as long as they both make weight

 

[Gangsters_Paradise]

yea except that doesn't mean jack sheeeit in the fight unless he thinks he's going to run around the cage for 5 rounds

 

[AminoAcid]

Khabib looks defeated. Max is definitely in his head. Khabib gonna come out gunz a blazing and get caught.



Holloway by KO in about 13 seconds (12 if McCarthy can get their a tad faster).

Imagine if Max tears his ACL from all that running.

Artem's gonna step up and beat Khabib up.

At this point I am too drained to care. I will be happy when that scale read 155. Until then, what ever happens happens.

As much as I'd love to see Khabib murder a man in the ring, how about we stop with the injury talk?

 

[Mixedfights]

He found out Khabib was cutting weight on the treadmill then went down there with no sweat suit and probably stayed on the mill going faster.

Good move by Max. Then shook his hand basically saying "I'm ready already".

No Cringey Tony, no care.

Feelin you brotha.

Cucuy pulling out really killed my overall enthusiasm.

Hoping at least Max can make it interesting.

I have a feeling Max is gonna burn the candle at both ends and try to make it fun. He knows he can get a rematch whenever.

I think it'll be good given the circumstances.

 

[YOLOGOGOPLATA]

lol mind games mean nothing to Khabib. If Tony's crazy didn't bother The Eagle then there is nothing Max can do when it comes to mental warfare.

I was definitely bummed about Tony BUT I think Khabib vs Max is still one of the most exciting fights ever. These 2 guys are well on their way to enter the goat talk.

Dang, Max was in the lions den there.
