With Volk/Ortega being used for TUF, Max would have to wait until early 2022 at best before getting the winner.

So what should Max do next? Zombie or Zabit make sense by rankings, but Zombie is coming off a loss & Zabit probably wouldn't take the fight. Max said he wants big fights, how about Max vs Gaethje at 155 lbs? Maybe as a co-main to DP/Conor 3, or an ABC main event.

Yes Max's chin was cracked a few times last time he went up to 155, but that was vs Poirier who KO'd & dropped everyone not named Khabib.

Max vs Gaethje, would you like to see it & if so who wins??
 
Zabit knows he will get murdered but it's the logical fight to make

KZ should fight Ige or Kattar
 
Idk I enjoy watching him fight so to me it don't matter who he fights .

I think Justin beats him tho
 
Gatekeeper status. He already lost to volk multiple times.

better hope someone else beats volk soon

Max vs Zabit. I don't want to see Max at LW.

Following UFCs announcement of a 5 round co-main I cannot imagine Zabit having any interest in returning to fight Max Holloway unless he can convince UFC to have the first ever 2 round fight with 5 minutes in between rounds
 
A fight with Zabit would be exciting and I'd favor Max in that fight. A fight with Gaethje would be fun, but I don't think Max could take Gaethje's power and would favor Gaethje.

He definitely could, but he gasses & Max doesn't slow down. Would be a war either way.

The fuck are you talking about he gasses? Already forgot the Tony fight? That was a non stop striking battle for nearly 5 rounds

Gaethje has good cardio
 
Max VS Zabit in a 5 rounder for the next shot is the obviously move after Yair just committed one of the biggest ducks in MMA history
 
With Ige and KZ now matched, Holloway is left with no one directly around him to fight.

His only obvious option if he wants to stay active is Emmet, with Allen or Bryce Mitchell not looking like logical matches but being the only guys other than Kattar in the top 15 that are not matched.
