Should Max Holloway pull out of BMF fight and go for Topuria?

[kalabula]

Why would you assume that would be an option for him?

 

[GonzagaSokoudjouGuillard]

He should have a "clash of heads" while sparring a few weeks out leading to a cut that forces him to pull out...

Tuporia vs Max at 300 and Gaethje vs Conor.

 

[Exarch01]

Negative my dude. Him vs Gaethje is absolute fire.

 

[humdizzle]

I don't see max having an answer to ilias game. Moreover, the ufc wants to avoid Max vs volk 4 at all costs.

If max beats gaethje. He stays at LW.
They will keep volk at fw and try to create a trilogy with him and ilia.

It's really bad timing for Max to leave the division, the moment he books a fight outside FW, a new champ comes. If Gaethje brutalizes him, it's going to be hard to sell him as the next guy for titleshot at FW.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Nah. I understand why, but nah

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Short answer: No

Long answer: Fuck no

If Justin break the brakes off him Max he still could go back to FW and fight a top 10 guy and get his TS.

Besides that it is probably Topuria vs Volk next.

If he can beat Gaethje he totally deserves a shot at Topuria, who is a smaller, lower-output Geathje basically

 

[Poatan Power]

Would be hilarious if he won, face Volk again and won.

True about Topuria vs Volk rematch knowing the UFC and their rematches. Guess I was thinking if Max didn't have a fight and most people thought Volk didn't deserve one they'd book until Volk recovers.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Love max but he doesn't deserve a title shot rn

Who does though?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Max vs Topuria is even bigger if he can beat Gatheje

 

[Phisher]

I find this idea that Max is somehow Torpuria's kryptonite because of his chin and cardio to be very strange.

We've already see a guy with massive power throw him off of his game by hurting him early in the Poirier rematch, and Max has taken a ton of damage since then.

I don't like the Torpuria fight or the Gaethje fight for him.
