Max is a better fighter than Dustin......

[Touch of Death]

I don't give a f what anyone says about Dustin being 2-0 against him. Max is a better fighter than Dustin, the first fight Max was super green and the second fight was a close fight and was Max's first time at 155.

What are some other fighters than are 0-2 against a fighter but you believe are still better than them?

 

[Guard]

Nunes/Shevchenko

 

[Iron Nick]

Idk, Max is better career-wise, but Poirier is almost made to be a super hard matchup for Holloway.

Jacare don't want this smoke, lucky to get out of the first two with the W, no way he risks it a third time.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Some real easy ones

Sonnen over Silva
Gustafsson over Jones
Camozzi over Jacare

 

[ConditFan]

I gave max 2 rds of the second fight. And had the fight continued on, max looked fresher at the end of the 5th. But Dustin still beat him twice.

(Max does have the better career)

 

[TheEG]

Yeah, he's better. But when the skill level is close but one guy hits way harder than the other guy, the better guy doesn't always win.

 

[theTKDguy]

no not really

Lol- good stuff. I remember re match - Camozzi was the most confident 7-1 ,8-1 underdog ever seen.

 

[Kraken]

Maybe but it's a tough sell imo when Max is literally 0-2 against Dustin in head-to-head matchups.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Silva vs Sonnen 1 was a 50-41 fight.

I don't give a f what anyone says about Dustin being 2-0 against him. Max is a better fighter than Dustin...

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Anderson Silva over Chris Weidman

"Poirier's power was too much for Holloway to overcome. He shellacked the Hawaiian early in the first round. And though Holloway rebounded and had plenty of bright spots—just making it to the final bell was a bright spot in and of itself—he had no real answer for Poirier's strength. That is to be expected; Holloway was moving up a weight class, after all."

Dustin Poirier beats up Max Holloway at UFC 236

T.s needs to calm down buts hes probably right. However- moving forward, Dustin has seemed to absorb the brutal nature of sport better than Max and that's a tough reality after the ridiculous run Max had at 145. Timing , man. I wouldnt be shocked at all if a 3rd fight took place at 155 ( this time with Holloway having a few 155 fights under belt) and Poirier won again.

 

[Harlekin]

Max will always have T Rex arms without 1 punch knockout power. He starves to 145 and baloons up to 200 inbetween fights.
He is 5'11 and lost to 5'9 Poirier and 5'6 Volkanoswki.
Get off his nuts, he has a great career and resume.

 

[YourBoss]

Of course Holloway is better than Poirier. He was a dominant Champ at FW. H2H should be considered, but its not the most important factor. You meassure greatness by a person by the performance against the field, not against a single person.

Ehh sort of agree.
1st fight clearly Dustin was better.

2nd fight began to get closer in the 3-5 rounds but still not clear due to it being Max’s first time at 155.

 

[Kraken]

I've also heard it told that Max is a better fighter than Conor, despite losing to him as well. Max seems to get a lot of favorable assumptions made about his abilities as compared to others. I wonder if it's because he's well-liked?

Where's he supposedly better than these guys? Cardio? Sure. Chin? Sure. Height? Sure.

Reach? Not so much.
Power? Not so much.
Speed? Not so much.
Technique? Not so much.
Grappling? Not so much.
Stand up? Not so much.

How about Volkanovski? Is Max a better fighter than him too? Lol
