Prediction: Zabit finishes Max

[The Chosen]

Zabit has a championship level fight IQ and is way more disciplined in his strike selections than Yair. I see a possible submission if these two fight

 

[NoSmilez]

He got mcgregor cardio though

 

[Ares Black]

That seems unlikely.

Zabit doesn't make it out of the 3rd with Max. Max by TKO.

Im not so sure about that. Max matches up better vs Zabit than he did vs Yair because the power is equal. Max likely takes a UD over Zabit.

I will say, I think Zabit finishes Yair who gave Max a fight to the death, though.

Max’s best chances are in the 4th and 5th rounds where Zabit’s cardio is untested

 

[KazDibiase]

Is he still fighting?

His last fight was in 2019

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Zabit doesn't accept 5 round fights so I'm not sure he'll ever get a title shot or main event against Max.

and when is zabit gonna fight again?

He got mcgregor cardio though

I'd say McGregor has an advantage seeing as he went 5 rounds with Nate Diaz in their rematch.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Check me if I’m wrong here. But wouldn’t he actually have to be an active UFC fighter to beat anybody in the UFC?

Get back to me if and when he ever fights in the UFC again.

Skill wise Zabit is very talented, but that gas tank would be exposed by a pressure fighter like Holloway.

Let me know when Zabit enters a camp. Until then, this is basically empty posting.

Oh look, another, "this Russian fighter would beat this guy if they fought..."
It's cute.
The 3 finishes Zabit has in the ufc were vs total cans and he didnt finish Bochniak, Stephens or Kattar.

Max has gone his last 24 fights never being finished after his 1st fight vs Dustin as a 20 year old ufc debut.

Zabit is a 6'1 weight bully who doesn't want to fight and the UFC doesn't give a shit about him.

Brutal

 

[Squintz]

Zabit has 6 wins in the UFC. 4 of them are not even in the UFC anymore. He has zero tko/Ko victories. He’s never fought past 3 rounds. Max has never been finished on the feet. He’s only been finished once way back in 2012 when he got caught in a triangle in his 5th pro fight and first UFC fight.

There’s literally nothing that suggests Zabit finishes Max let alone beats him. Unless you’re a delusional Dagestani fan boi.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

I agree TS.

People forget Zabit is the best wrestler in this division. He'd overwhelm Max on the ground.

A pure striking battle, standup only, would be such a treat to watch though. Holy moly! That'd be insane...

Zabit would be too much for Max on the ground.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Zabit done, I doubt he'd fight again.
