Media Max Holloway responds to Illia’s offer to stand and bang at the start, calls it dumb.

[koa pomaikai]

Max calls it dumb to stand and bang at start, it’s about doing it at the end, when the other guy is fked.

Max shows his high fight IQ, you do it at the end of a entertaining fight, a fight that you are “winning” so the other guy is drained, but you still give them that shot, that creates the moment. To give a winning desperate chance for someone you already beat down.

“At the end of the day, the point down, it’s something that you do towards the end of the fight. If something is going good, if the fight is entertaining or you’re winning, you give the other guy a shot. The moment is the moment for a reason.”

Illia doesn’t get it, it’s not the DMF belt, it’s the BMF belt.

Holloway on Topuria’s offer to stand and bang at UFC 308: It’s BMF, not DMF

Ilia Topuria wants to recreate Max Holloways’ famous UFC 300 moment at UFC 308. But, "Blessed" doesn’t think "El Matador" understands what made it so special.

In other words, Max pussied out.

No, Max is smart, he’ll do it at the end, when Illia is tired and beat down. He’ll give Illia a chance after beating his ass for 5 rounds.

 

[CieloLuce]

Why? He wants to be the FW champ again. I feel like Topuria would pussy out anyways.

It's Max's move Ilia clout chasing hard trying to make it his own and looks like a Clown walking around with that fake belt. He envies Max so much. That is a deadly sin.

end of the day he is a scared little boy

DMF title holder

 

[jko1355]

I'm really getting worried for the Ilia fans... hes a good a fighter... but we are getting weird conor fanboy vibes on the other side... a little too much slurping

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

As a max fan, this has me shook

 

[MrBlackheart]

Oh, so it’s being a bad ass to stand and bang with a tired, blinded eye and busted nose Gaethje but it’s “dumb” to do it against a fresh Topuria? Max just backing out of a tough challenge with a lame excuse. That’s not bmf behavior.

 

[MrBlackheart]

So was it smart to stand and bang vs Justin and risk it when max had the W in the bag? That was really DMF. You guys have to make up your mind if your boy max is bmf or dmf.

 

[Street Bishop]

Yeah cuz risking your win bonus in the last 10 seconds when you're up on the cards is so smart. Go ask Korean Zombie how well that worked out for him.

Smart to boost his legacy, earn FOTN, and hype for future fights with relatively little risk against a battered and tired fighter.

It was smart, small risk with huge upside. Banging at the start is huge risk with little upside, DMF shit.

It’s bad ass to be cold blooded and calculating. Max knew what he was doing to Justin. He was taking his head with little risk and a ton of fame.

And you give the guy a last ditch chance to win it all back. Honourable and badass at the same time. The world acknowledged it. Shit, in the moment even Illia acknowledged it by looking shook as hell lol.

So maybe he should try it at the end of round 5 with Ilia and risk getting stretchered out with shit in his pants.
