[Pechan]

Dustin isn't some destroyer, hooker of all people went 5 rds with him

And yet, Gaethje, Conor, Chandler, Pettis, couldn't.

That was at FW, dude saying Dustin is not a destroyer when you have his finishing history is just some dumb shit, admit it and move on.

Hey @BFoe still think Holloway is past his prime?

If you’re asking because of his performance last night, I didn’t see the fight.

This thread didn't age well.

Wym?

He still looks old lol

You give him an apron and a smoke, I’d ask him to cook me a mean sesame chicken with fried rice.

Barboza is a fw now and stopped hooker.. is he hitting harder than dustin

Pacific Islanders don't age well. Combine that with the stress and all.

Dude stop it, you are looking dumb as fuck.

looked fine to me. outstruck a young up and coming contender, and a fellow striker at that.

Arnold Allen was amazing. He was very game, clean, powerful striking, very good defence, great stamina and fight IQ. That guy was on a 10 fight win streak including names like Kattar, Hooker, Sodiq Yusuff, Gilbert Melendez. Allen proved that he’s an elite FW.

Max was just better. More fluid, better combos, timing. His chin is granite as well as he took some bombs. He had to be 100% to beat a beast like Allen.

He’s still very much in his prime, possibly he’s the best version of himself now.

It’s just another example of a fighter you want to label “out of prime”, because it fits your narrative, yet he’s not showing signs of slowing down.

Actually I'm not, you're just too stupid to understand the point

 

[GoshiShun17]

I honestly don't get why his personality is so popular.. he's pretty generic to me.. o guess people relate to that..

Volk is less popular but way more engaging in my opinion.. I guess I'm not a mainstream kinda guy..

Like Anderson Silva, Holloway's personality or self expression, is usually shown in the cage.

stupid striker fighting style - he sucks up a lot of damage like gaethje. thats why wrestlers like khabib age so beautifully and maintain good brain health.

Sure

And you know what they have in common? Excellent hair genetics. Is life even worth living without it?

Come on now my good sir, Holloway's hairline ain't too bad either

He absolutely has though. What I’ve actually said about Holloway is that he’s declining. In other words, his peak is in the past. And it is. You’re not watching Max Holloway at his peak, that was several years ago. Allen is a game and good fighter, but I think you’re exaggerating his resume a bit. Melendez was absolutely shot, was coming into the fight on a 4-fight skid and was years past his best; Kattar lost due to freak injury (although Allen had his moments up to that point); has Sodiq ever beaten anyone in the top 15 even?

edit: checked and Caceres was #15.

What is it with sherdog and age/look threads? Fighters aren’t models and have very hard lifestyle, you’d think people would connect the dots.
