Who Should Replace Max?

[NicholasJBasile]

A.J. McKee. Sure, it's not going to happen, but that's who should replace Max. All other answers are wrong.

Dude this would be so awesome -- I doubt it happens... but damn that would be epic.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Giga if he wins. I don't think he'll win, though, so we might be stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Yair broke his foot against max, so it's unlikely that he's ready.

Not sure how long it takes for a broken foot to heal and his medical suspension wasn't super long.

That would be insane and a much better choice than Triple C. Holy fuck I know it wouldn't happen, but if it did that would be historical.

 

[Question]

Fuck it make the winner in the co-main(Yan/Aljo) fight Volk afterwards.
Give them an hour break and if they win they'll be double champ.

My vote goes to Yair, if he's healthy enough to compete.

Yair? Where is pink suit guy? It's 2022. The last time Yair won a fight was 2019.

Yair's last 5 fights stretch all the way back to May 2017. In those 5 fights, his record is 2-2 with a no contest.

6th-ranked Josh Emmett should get it. He is on a 4-fight winning streak. He only has 2 losses in his entire MMA career, one of which was a split decision. The weigh-ins for UFC 272 take place on his 37th birthday.

About two months. I doubt if he's ready, even if he was, it's not like he's known for being active. I wouldn't mind seeing it though.

 

[Bob Sapp]

Volkonovsky would destroy Yair on the ground

It's been 2 months since that fight. He could do it I think.

 

[daltonames]

Are you guys serious about Cejudo? Is that even really an option?

I doubt it. He's only gonna get one shot at Volk, he should make sure he's as prepared as possible.

Giga or Henry. If Giga is not damage in his fight against Kattar. @NorrisB

So an answer that isn’t possible is correct ….. hmmmm

 

[Substance Abuse]

Giga or Emmett. Cejudo can kick rocks.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Man, I'm so out of the loop. What happened?

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the other thread.

Shit happened fast

Max vs Volk 3 like:

 

[spinup]

Petr Yan. Seriously.

I actually wouldn't mind if Emmett gets it. He's up there in age so I'd like to see him get it sooner than later.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

They should cut Volkanovski and have a tournament for a new champ who will defend against Max once he’s healthy

 

[jeskola]

Jose Aldo. Yes, I know he lost to max twice, but that was before his current comeback.

 

[Ian]

I want the Cejudo fight!!! Forget all those other bums!!

 

[CJrider]

CCC can have it, the division isn't crazy deep right now and Giga can take the next shot, followed by Max. Makes for a wonderful year at 145.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Olives steps up to the plate, saves the card, and wins the 145 strap. Stretch?

Lol wow. Would be amazing
