Jose Aldo Jr is the real "your favorite fighter's favorite fighter"

I know right, who would have thought a fighter would have difficulty against the champ of a higher weight class..

Wait..

Max is a better fighter than Poirier, he was just brutally undersized in their fight, with Dustin looking to move up to Welterweight now.

Wait, didn’t poirier fight at featherweight for a significant portion of his career?

doesn’t Holloway and poirier of similar body frames?

why are you trying to imply that there is significant weight advantage, they were both lightweights in that fight and max looked like he was in great physical shape

Poirier wasnt a champ.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I think both gave each other major respects here.

 

[Full stacks]

Poirier is waaay bigger

lol they were both lightweights in that fight. Max was in great shape.
They both have almost identical body frames.

poirier did the same in their featherweight bout.


What a shit excuse on your end

 

[SouthpawSouthernFist]

Poirier wasnt a champ.

He will be soon. Even if not at the time, he was the obvious number two.

Still quite believable to lose to him.

 

[VinceArch]

Still crazy how both those fights turned out. Once Holloway put his foot on the gas Aldo couldn't keep up. Poirier smashing Holloway showed though that you can't just not cut weight and fight the best at a higher weight class and win. Well, unless you are Frankie.

That's like saying Rumble isn't a big LHW because he fought at welterweight at one point.

Dustin is a large, jacked LW. Max makes weight at 145.

I’d say post prime. He had a ton of hard miles in him by this point. But I could be wrong. Could just be a”styles make fights” thing.

Prime, lol.

Aldo had so many miles on him from hard training at NU, a couple accidents, a hurt back, broken foot, and almost eight years fighting top talent at the time that he was easily post prime.

Anyway, war Max. Such a good example of classy after and before a fight.

no it’s not. I would say rumble is a lhw becuz he is fighting in lhw.

lmfao if we are to use this analogy, Your logic would be “rumble was successful at lhw becuz he is actually a hw since he fought in the hw division “

Yeah hard to say.

Saying Aldo was past prime doesnt sound fair for Holloway.

I lean towards just being bad match up
