Media Max talks about being the only man to take Conor to a decision at 145; UPDATE McGregor Responds

[Myrddin Wild]

Hanging on to a loss...


From an injured guy?

 

[Morning Star]

Conor doesn't have the gas tank to keep up with Max and Max has too good of a chin for Conor have a puncher's chance. Easy W for Max.

 

[robbie]

Max can keep a hard / fast pace for 5 rounds, Conor is good for only 1 or 2 rounds before he gasses especially at the higher weight. So McGregor needs to get the early finish or Holloway gets a decision win or late finish win. I doubt this fight ever happens.

 

[Trabaho]

He wrestled because he tore his ACL. Not sure why you are acting like Max had anything on the feet for Conor. Go watch that fight again. Not a single competitive moment. Max has improved a ton but to pretend like Conor panic wrestled is just stupidity even for you.

What's wrong with wrestling, it's mma. He just wants to down Conor it's ok, it's his fan boy phase. This fighter is no good, that other fighter that I like is so great. Projecting majorly.

 

[Armyhawk]

Right. Because he caught his kick and tripped him. Not exactly a panic wrestle moment.

Fair enough if that’s the case, I don’t recall that i guess.

in any case i’m down for a rematch - just curious at what weight. I would favor max bc of cardio and chin but….he has a good chin until he doesn’t. Could see it go either way.

 

[J-Pac]

Huh? He's 3-4 at 155+, with no notable wins since 2016, and even that win is suspect since Eddie is in the D leagues getting destroyed by nobodies.

This is just blind Conor hate. Eddie was the rightful #1 in the world and those guys he has fought at 155 are all very very good and substantially bigger than Max. Anyone hating on Alvarez must be *checks join date* yep, complete noobs who have no idea what they are talkign about. Put some hespecc on Eddie Alvarez, dude is a legend of the sport.

 

[CashMoney1991]

Max waxes Conor, probably a 3rd to 4th round finish tbh, Conor hasn't beaten anyone notable since Eddie and Max is still very good

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

conor not only beat him he beat him with a blown out knee. i don't see the point in this rematch with how conor is picking his fights and shooting for higher weight. I'm still not convinced conor isn't still retired. he hasn't gotten in the testing pool and they already did tuf.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Taking Max against Conor at any weight. Shocker. I know.

 

[IneedSometop]

Max vs Connor at 185 for a LW title shot book it Dana

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Conor takes Max into the championship rounds and drowns him with pace, volume, and superior cardio.

 

[Zaar]

Conor makes 145 only if he gets both of his legs amputated
155? One leg.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Max Holloway talks about being the "only" fighter to take Conor to a decision at 145. Max definitely has a hell of a chin. Conor knocked out everyone at 145 except him. Young Max was a beast.

Do you think we will see McGregor vs Holloway at open weight?

Max definitely wants it, would McGregor fight Holloway again?

War Max

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Conor takes Max into the championship rounds and drowns him with pace, volume, and superior cardio.

Surely, you have to be trolling.

 

[Jonesisnatural]

Y'all talk about max being inexperienced there
Conor literally tore his ACL in that fight and still put a one sided beatdown on him
The Conor that showed up for Diaz 2 and Alvarez gets it done
The Conor we've seen recently probably not
But, Max doesn't translate well up in weight
He takes a shit ton of damage.
Conor at 155 or 170 has the power the put him out. Great chin or not, everybody's cracks at some point. He's due for it at anytime if he keeps getting tagged the way he does.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Surely, you have to be trolling.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Max literally beats the breaks off conor
Max now would beat any version of conor

 

[Sean_wongster_wongmastter]

Huh? He's 3-4 at 155+, with no notable wins since 2016, and even that win is suspect since Eddie is in the D leagues getting destroyed by nobodies.

Huh when McGregor beat Eddie, Eddie still went on to beat Gatheje and had a war with Poirier. You can say Eddie is one of the weaker champions but he’s definitely top 3-5 at the time.

 

[Ayreon]

Max would lit up Conor, be serious.

He's more durable, faster, and most important he's the one who made tons of improvements since they met the first time.

 

[brownsmith76]

Holloway has an excellent chin. He can take Conor's punches.

Holloway is older and much more experienced now.
