PBP UFC 318 - Holloway vs. Poirier 3 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 7/19 at 10pm ET

Real men stand at the podium and just go slap for slap

those aren’t men; they’re titans.

I say this with 100% due respect to Max.
He's just as good as he was in the last fight against Dustin.

He hasn't improved.
He hasn't fallen out of his prime after three thunderous beatings by Volkinovski & the KO by Touperia (sp?).
He's still in his prime after nearly 15 years in the UFC.

Why the result was different tonight than their previous fight is because Dustin is now no longer in his prime.

Max is not in his prime but he's definitely diversified his offensive approach. Tactically he's gotten better.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

lol glad with the back and forth and max nor Dustin being slept or injured

100%, you better buy those shorts. 150$ USD after shipping and taxes I'm guessing.

and yes, glad no one got flatlined, that wouldn't have been worth it at all. they gave maximum entertainment and everyone saved at least 10 months off of their life.

I will fly to see your slap journey

 

[nostradumbass]

He threw like one or two

He threw a jab and a mini hook then clinched. TBF, Max was already a tornado throwing like 30 punches by that point, so he didn't really have any openings to throw much.

 

[flakxd]

Tiki Ghosn seems like such a shady dude

 

[surgeyou1]

I don't think it would have really mattered.

Maybe he would have thrown down in the last 10 seconds instead of clinching lol.

 

[Sage NorthGOAT]

Thats the best Max ever looked. He sounded like he was hitting meat for entire combos.

 

[Da Speeit]

yea probably the most honest real assessment.

i had totally forgotten the DP before pieced up max badly at LW.

Max is just figuring out LW, confident after the Gaethje KO, and did his homework, while DP, honestly more than likely had some toes out the door.

no disrespect to DP, had a great career 100%.

somehow Max is on a slight ascension at a higher weight class at this point in his career.

they dont think it be like it is, but it do.

Dude, Max is coming off getting sent to the fucking Shadow realm

What are you dorks smoking? He's got tons and tons of miles on him. He's not out of his prime, but he's definitely on the other end of it. Dustin was catching him.

Max just beat Dustin in a fist fight where he was ostensibly, again, the smaller guy with way more fight years put on him than the other guy. You don't have to do a whole bunch of coping and pretending it's brilliant analysis.

 

[HCS]

Watch him fight Conor against at the White House UFC event

It's gonna be Max vs Conor 2 for the BMF at the White House. It's a dumb match-up, but it'll probably happen.

 

[Croaker]

y'all arguing over midgets

 

[Da Speeit]

Maybe he would have thrown down in the last 10 seconds instead of clinching lol.

Probably would have gotten Gay Cheesed

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Sucks that Dustin’s corner was shit.

He probably would have gone for it if he realized he wasn’t going to win a decision.

Corner men really need to stop lying to their fighters it was not 2-2 going into the 5th

Yall make it seem like Dustin won r5 and tried to coast to a dec.
Either way he had to go hard r5 and max won 5 emphasized by that in the last 10s.

 

[MMA4Life]

Max is not in his prime but he's definitely diversified his offensive approach. Tactically he's gotten better.

Max switched it up but let’s be real max looks faster and more powerful at 155. He was draining himself.

 

[gosuasus]

Usman looks massive next to Poirier. Three times his size. Another proof what nasty things Kamaru would've done to Khabib.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Max is not in his prime but he's definitely diversified his offensive approach. Tactically he's gotten better.

I'm curious why you say he's no longer in his prime.

Maybe so, but at worst he hasn't gone downhill very far.

 

[DrRodentia]

I will fly to see your slap journey

If I go first I have a solid chance against any man on this planet.

I tap out after I throw my first one and it doesn't work, though. Out of mercy for my opponent.

nah dude, this is brilliant analysis, rivaled only by maybe, mr. brett okamoto himself.

I get it, but I disagree a little bit.
I think he got a little better with the kicks and the power. But he lost a little of his chin. So he's kind of the same level of fighter, but more dangerous and more vulnerable

It seemed like this whole card was full of delusional corner talk. For the fighters who actually made it out of the first, that is. I'm starting to think cornermen are just not very smart yes men.
