What is the biggest fight Max Holloway can get now that he’s the BMF world champion!

[koa pomaikai]

What do people think is biggest fight Holloway can get now that he is the baddest man on earth?

Featherweight champion?
Lightweight champion?
Leon Edwards?
Winner of Chandler vs McGregor?

Or maybe even move down to fight the enigma that is Sugar Sean at a lower weight?

McGregor isn’t fighting Chandler. Max is a much more appealing fight for McGregor and Max should make his case.

Money = McGregor

Legacy = Topuria ( Champ vs Champ )

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Topuria is the only fight left for him.

 

[MisfitsBR]

Him vs Topuria will be a BANGER! That's the fight I am most excited to watch right now.

Max will get the belt again, I like Topuria but he's young, he can get later.

But Max can try to revenge his losses against Volk, Poirier and Mcgregor too.

Maybe defend the belt (if he get) against Volk.
Or beat Poirier and call out a title shot at lightweight.
Or make the money fight with Conor.

Topuria is the only fight left for him.

I'm beating a dead horse and violating it's corpse with this one but gawd damnnnn why has this fight not happened yet ???
And why is Topuria not getting more promotion ??
(And I know the guys annoying but he could be a STAR)

After watching a couple years of boxing super fights and big events (and boxing is still a total shit show) it just pisses me off how these fights aren't being booked ASAP and being promoted MONTHS before the event.

Where's the storylines ? Wheres the fighters being built to make them seem larger then life ??

I'll always love high level MMA for the action and art of fighting alone but this shit could be SO much more hyped right now, and I'll never pretend that I don't love a good storyline and super fight, nothing beats a crazy Khabib-Connor level MMA event. I don't wanna exaggerate, but it feels like the UFC is waisting prescious time.

Make the big fights, build the stars you have, take risks, come on let's fuckin go already.

If Max only had one fight left in him, it would have to be McGregor at 155.

That being said and under ideal circumstances, Topuria fights Holloway, McGregor fights Chandler and has a relatively speedy turnaround (for him, lol) and fights Max in the final fight on Conor's UFC contract. Honestly, it really wouldn't even matter if Holloway lost to Topuria (but I would love it if he won) or Chandler beat McGregor.

Max vs. Conor is a solid fan-friendly fight, a long-overdue rematch, and if there is any UFC fighter that has paid their dues... Max deserves a nice healthy windfall.

32 years old with 33 pro fights, Holloway really has nothing left to prove, and a fight with McGregor is definitely one hell of swan song. Conor gains his freedom and becomes a free-agent at the same time (and hopefully takes his nuthuggers with him). Everyone wins.

Except Dana. Dana will be pissed when Conor does his own thing or blows up BKFC. That is going to be epic.

His bmf belt will somehow become even more worthless, than it already is, after losing to Topuria.

Probably Mike Tyson in boxing if we are talking $.

Well if we stretch that out for a bit he could also fight the planet Pluto.

 

[Gabe]

It’s gotta be Topuria right now and no one else.

 

[PhotographyRaptor]

Jake Paul would probably pay the most but in reality, the guy with the religious name. No one cares about Ilia yet.

I’d buy that fight. Pluto couldn’t even beat a nerd to keep its status. Max>not a planet

 

[fortheo]

Topuria and Islam.

Honestly, I wish he stayed at LW, but the topuria match up is probably too enticing to refuse.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Money = McGregor

Legacy = Topuria ( Champ vs Champ )

Agree.

Beat Topuria, regain his FW Championship, then defend his BMF Championship against McGregor, then retire on top of the world ... beating the guy who beat Volk ... avenging his loss as a kid to McGregor ... vindicated and wealthy.

Biggest fight as in money/selling ppvs or biggest as in competition prestige with a great fight meaning something other than financially? If it’s the second one than either Topuria or Islam. I don’t think Islam is interested in fighting max as he thinks he is a FW and should stay there. So in that case Topuria is the answer. If we are taking biggest as in most amount of money max can make while earning ppv points then obviously Mcgregor fight. I think Conor would take that fight as he knows Max is the biggest name he could fight at this point and would help with his name getting the most ppv sales. But I think Max has other fish to fry right now he wants the FW belt back and it appear that is the fight they will make.

 

[MarcusAuerelius]

Jake Paul - hands down

 

[Carrotman23]

Jake Paul - hands down

Only if you can clown a second Holloway so the Weight is fair.

 

[Senbonzakura]

Max deserves a legacy fight against a legend.

 

[Conan the K-9]

One option is second belt at 145 or 155, but if he wants a legacy fight and an opponent with the most starpower and possible money, he should fight Conor or Charles.
