Aura famring from max top tier

 

[Simple Southerner]

awesome sportsmanship max is such a good dude nothing but class

damn gonna miss watching dustin fight!!

 

[GearSolidMetal]

There's four aspects for effective striking.
*Quickness (hand speed)
*Reaction Time (both defensive & offensive)
*Movement Speed (Moving the body in and out)
*Power

Max had all four.
Dustin just had power.

I'm if the opinion the last time we saw Dustin in his prime was against Gaethje in the rematch.

 

[Area809]

I’d be a bigger fan of Max if he did the last 10 second schtick at the beginning end of each round.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

If you are going to have a belt like that at least have a different ruleset like no takedowns or something

Openweight

 

[contrail]

lol at the folks hating on Dustin for not possibly getting corpsed for no good reason in front of his whole family in his last fight.

 

[Substance Abuse]

To be fair, Max forfeited the real BMF belt when he didn’t answer Topurias callout to the center of the octagon.

And more dumb ass shit.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Great fight and a solid performance from Poirier even with the loss, glad he's retiring at the right time.

I've seen a whole lot worse ways to go out but he did show why he needed to retire as well. Just no quickness left.

Anthony smith video package incoming

 

[DougieJones]

Damn I get he's a 'legend' but shit is this a lot of ass-kissing for a dude not even in the top 50 all-time

 

['Rocky']

Looked better against Gaethje. Imo.

Only because Gaehtje was possessed by the Tony Ferguson he beat the shit out of during covid

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Max is a complete psycho for doing it again. absolutely no reason to meet Dustin in the phone booth like that. what a nut.

that's that islander babyyyy

 

[Ladder Master]

 

[ledonk]

I know he'd probably get KO'd again, but Max did win pretty much every minute until he got flattened vs Topuria. He should have an advantage in size at 155. I'd tune in for sure.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

damn, please no more human ritual sacrifice. we already saw DP cry. I alway cried. we crowed. no mas.

Top is the UFC’s real BMF champ right now.

Surrendered it when he got knocked the fuck out with ease lmao

 

[El Fernas]

Max you aren't fighting Topuria lol

And honestly he shouldnt, its too soon, even if its a different weight and Holloway is on the winning side again, UFC burns through rematches and trilogies way too quickly, at this point they should just match him up right for the BMF belt each time until the trilogy becomes inevitable.

 

[Ares Black]

I would prefer just not to have it. It was silly as a one-off gimmick. As an actual belt it's ridiculous and cringey.

 

[SaltedVinegarfootstomps]

Standing with max for the last 10 is a fools effort. He can put out like 25 shots for every 5 coming his way. Sure fire method to steal a round....not that he did....but I kinda want to see it put away.

 

[helax]

Hespect to Dustin
