Do you think Gaethje will be TOO BIG for Holloway considering how the Poirier and Holloway fights went? I want to know YOUR thoughts!

[@N-B-MMA]

Champ you're a professional fighter and you say poireir and gaethje have similar hands and boxing? I think once you watch justins fights and really study then you will see his boxing is really not great to say the least

[@NicolaMaxwell]

​@@N-B-MMA Depends which fights you study as Gaethjes boxing has improved and is definitely more similar to Dustin Poiriers now. Those leg kicks from Gaethje are lethal, sadly for Max who eats a lot of them. I'm rooting for Max.

[@wayne3093]

too big, i like max tho

[@zealpulses3826]

No, they are the same height and Max actually put on more muscle this time unlike his fight with Poirier. Max gets the win. Justin is pretty sloppy defensively in the stand-up

[@N-B-MMA]

@NicolaMaxwell I'm talking purely boxing and his boxing fundamentals are mid at best

[@vulpescanis77]

Heart says Max. Brain says Gaethje. Either way i think its going to be one hell of a scrap.

[@WonderboyMMA]

AGREED!

[@NicolaMaxwell]

​@@WonderboyMMA It will be a tough one to watch for my nerves.😂 I watch your fights through a gap between hands that are over my face😂😂😂

[@PozzaPizz]

​@@WonderboyMMAhey man watched you live in Orlando and you look spectacular cheers

[@N-B-MMA]

My brain says max and my heart say the fans!

[@JonathanGonzalez-jz4td]

I have a feeling max might put on a clinic !!

[@ramonveltmeijer9961]

About that jumping the cage thing. Him saying "am i going to get in trouble?" And the way he said it. It's just so funny like how the hell is he a cage fighter. I love you Wonderboy.

[@busymountain]

Yeah if Max doesn’t solve the leg kick issue he’s cooked.

[@DaFonz808]

He’s taller so he needs to keep distance.

[@fightme5543]

His solution was to eat it. A true Hawaiian.

[@TheMultiCircus]

@@fightme5543that extra leg muscle helped a ton. You can easily see how much bigger his lower half is in that fight

[@SnailHatan]

One thing I haven’t seen many people take into account is Max actually had time to get to a good 155 this time. He’s in great shape. He still has to take Gaethje’s monster strikes, but it’ll be a helluva fight either way

[@TheMultiCircus]

Noticed that Max knocked tkz out the exact same way he did Justin. Would be insane if he did the same to Toporia

[@suttonsplash14]

the NMF belt in the intro lol

[@quinnk8572]

very comforting to hear wonderboy talk about feeling like you're in slomo after getting rocked - comforting to know that even the best of the best experience it

[@NicolaMaxwell]

The best of the best experience the most as they're fighting the best. 🙏

[@jorgeelchef1173]

The GOAT mma channel and the GOAT striker 🔥

[@Rain-hg4di]

It is either justin by ko or max by decision..I don't see max knocking him out..

[@Omalleyschair]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Justin by decision or max by tko

[@Rain-hg4di]

@@Omalleyschair it is the fight game ya never know lol

[@jackreacher2095]

Possibly tko overwhelming with volume late in the bout

[@chaithanyagowda3130]

Justin has good chin too

[@Omalleyschair]

@@chaithanyagowda3130 no he doesn’t he gets wobbled or dropped in every fight since khabib. Partially because khabib has no stand up

[@kodi7024]

Watching these videos really takes us away from the mucky muck. Makes you wonder what secret to his powers is...

[@bowenhorne0616]

Max always jumps out of the cage, watch a video of his finishes and he does it pretty much every time

[@Humanimal117]

Gonna be an insane fight but I think max is going to experience something new something he's never felt before. Which is the cold darkness that is the shadow realm.

[@IamBruceC]

I just feel everyone is basing this fight off of Max fight against Dustin. If you take away the power shots that Dustin had, Max won the fight. Also, if you look at Max the past 2 fights he just looks bigger, his body is starting to fill up and his shots are being felt more. He could have easily beat Zombie in the 2nd.

[@TransitionedToAShark]

Max is bigger, faster and more skilled

[@bothuhead1973]

Im most worried about the calf kicks. Max has been susceptible to them in the past and Justin has the heaviest kicks

[@hungryforlunch]

WONDER BOY VS THE REAPER 2 for the thay NMF belt, wonderboy should just be crowned the inaugural NMF champ just off GP and for being a legend, NMF top 10 contenders Thompson Whittaker Burns Porier Gsp Holloway Romero Poatan Nickal Silva

[@RocknrollaBlitz]

Lets go Max ! So i can scream .. im not surprised mdfk 🤣

[@sl9673]

The checked hook was so fast, i had to rewind 3 times to see it 2:08. Let’s go Max BMF!

[@IIFeaRzXD]

wonderboy you missed the best part of the entire fight!! TKZ walking in/out of the arena was something of beauty. Gives me goosebumps thinking about/listening to the song zombie now!

[@kaipomeller1449]

Hey Wonderboy! Hello from Hawaii, you should come down when you get a chance, sure Max will show you around 🤙

[@ericmarshall8097]

I got Holloway with a KO with 1 sec left in the fifth round! 😊

[@y_not]

You can cut out the last 20s of the video to increase retention

[@BrandonWestfall]

I can't bet against Max.

[@Gojimaru]

Holloway's problem is that he only boxes and has the most strikes absorbed in the UFC history. Standing in front of a guy like Gaethje and exchanging, i don't think he is capable of taking the heat. It's one thing in featherweight but a whole different thing in lightweight. I think Justin will soften him up in the first round and a vicious one punch walkaway ko in the second. Gaethje hits harder than Poirier imo and we all remember how every punch Dustin threw snapped Holloway's neck.

[@masonbartlett888]

I can't choose who I want to win but I hope it's a real close decision and both need world title shot max needs touporia and gaetje needs makhachev

[@DNR6660]

We win either way! 🎉 Can't wait to see it !

[@jimsonjohnson3761]

Max doesn't KO and Gaethje doesn't get KOed. Max is a good 145 and Justin is a sizable 155er. No way in hell Justin loses.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Bahah what did you learn?

[@haerverk]

"Am I gonna get in trouble?"... I have no idea how to feel about the fact that one of the most lethal human beings in the world (and maybe history) has the attitude of a lil school boy XD

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

That last punch by Max was nice af. He backed up and planted down which added more power to his strike.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Did it this fight too. Has alot of good body body head combos

[@drum877]

Max has such an open guard when he fights which makes it easy for shots to come through once the void is crossed. But that open guard gives his eyes and his reflexes that much more time to react. Justin throws hooks with serous bad intentions. I feel Justin’s leg kicks will as well be a big factor in this fight. Unless max just puts some serious thump behind his punches like that fight ending shot he did to KZ.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Itw called Mummy guard its a real thing. Alex does it too but more traditionally being a kiclboxers Max's is a hybrid for mma

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Its a hybrid cause Max bends his elbows more. Alex is more straight on like a mummy

[@ÉdouardBrasseur]

Korean Zombie looked really good

[@billysunday7507]

Make it the CTE belt

[@smoketj4830]

Wboy you need to fight Charles Oliveira for that NMF championship 😅

[@jamesdavis2447]

Max learned his lesson..Max

[@jeffjones7481]

I believe Max said he only spars when he has a fight camp.

[@kupchoi]

I like both of them. But come on Justin can win by KO or decision even though he doesn’t do it much submission or ground and pound. He can win in so many ways. Max can only win by decision. You can just see Justin keeping Max from building momentum. Ripping wicked leg kicks from up close Freaking Max out on how close Justin can be to him and still kick his legs out. I have total respect for Max This is such a savage move from him. Good luck to both men.

[@NitrogenEyes]

I love them both and just hope it doesn’t end anyone’s career. (Ferguson’s downfall haunts me)

[@OneSlimChance]

A BMF is someone who will fight anyone, anytime, anywhere. Therefore, the NMF should be the opposite. Since Wonderboy fights, he should be stripped of his title, and the title should be given to someone like me who won't fight anyone, never, nowhere.

[@domeland2835]

I’m hearing people say max has pillow hands (Lucas Tracy) I think this shows otherwise

[@Mattisin]

Legit question, how are they not copyright striking the videos?

[@NicolaMaxwell]

Adding content, commentary and not just playing the fight...

[@Mattisin]

@@NicolaMaxwell Yeah, that does not matter with WME/UFC though. Many KZbinrs get striked for this so I'm just wondering if it's due to the sponsorship with Draftkings or something else.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@Mattisin Ah, maybe yeah as they stopped Hardy using any footage... I think it could be or WB got permission.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

He works for the UFC You don't think UFC would copyright strike their own fighters do you? That would be silly. They set rules and UFC fighters are encouraged to engage with their audience and promote the fight. The UFC would be the dumbest company on earth if it stopped their owb fighters promoting their events I can't believe you even had that thought tbh. You all good bro? Like you sure you arent drunk?

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Oh they copyright strike the guy they fired and hate? Oh they copyright striked a unwashed Incel with a history of talking shit on Dana publically... Wow wonder why? Oh they didn't copyright strike their rostered fighters or people they still respect and allow to use their content. Like name one rostered UFC fighter they have copyright struck... I'll eait

[@colbymclemore7642]

WONDERBOOOOOY

[@domeland2835]

People are acting like there’s no way this is gunna be competitive and I just disagree.

[@davidnavarette6289]

D.j. vs moraes, Pettis vs Wonderboy, d.c. vs barnett.

[@masonyang6171]

Gaethje ko max round 4 💯👍👏 trust me

[@BloodyBladeProductions]

This for me is my main event this match is gonna be awesome Side note: Stephen I love you but what’s with your hair 😭

[@dildonicplague]

Wonderboy are you gonna do a video like this about the other 2 title fights on UFC 300? That would be awesome!

[@Omalleyschair]

I really think max can do this tbh

[@ives3572]

I don't want to see Max get beaten up by Justin just like what happened to Tony Ferguson

[@InimitaPaul]

Max needs to leverage his speed otherwise he’s F’d! Quick in and outs with precision damaging strikes, not getting my hopes up though this could be a career ender for Max.

[@OoLiiMiiT3D]

Both my favorite fighters, but Max will take it. Stylewise, granite chin, endless cardio, great striking. I think Max overwhelms Gaethje from round 3 - 5, while round 1 and 2 will be very competitive. I honestly think Max will make it look like his fight vs Kattar, after he gets really into the fight. So I think round 3 is where Max will show up and do what he always does. 😮

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Aged like a fine wine. Love coming here after a fight and giving cats their due Blessed is best baby

[@Racso88e]

He's not too small, but he's under powered on comparison. He can't reply on a stand and trade punches with, Justin. That would be fighting his fight. Max has to mix it up and take it to the ground. Justin on his back is disabled.

[@lancertreepuffer]

1:56 when your fighting with your partner keep the hands out in front and moving 👍got it. She won't know where its coming from🤙

[@ThatFreeWilliam]

That was a jerk move by the ref pulling Zombie's hands away at 5:38. There's no rule that says you can't prevent someone from moving their crotch towards you by pressing against the cup. You just can't attack it.

[@Biohazard_55]

He was shaking the hands to make sure Zombie wasn't choked out. Not to pull them away.

[@ThatFreeWilliam]

@@Biohazard_55 You don't grab the free hand to test that instead of the braced one?

[@Biohazard_55]

@@ThatFreeWilliam I would have personally yes, idk why the ref grabbed that one, maybe he panicked?

[@ThatFreeWilliam]

@@Biohazard_55 Yeah, I guess maybe 'jerk move' was a bit harsh. It was a great fight and I get really testy about the ref getting in the middle of those...which is probably not the coolest attitude to have in general about fighter safety so I won't think about that too much!

Dude don’t kiss up, I still think you can come back, if not just do commentating

[@rotorairgroup8409]

Justin is dangerous. Max can actually got hurt like Ferguson. This fight will be too much for him. Justin's hits and kicks are destructive. They are in a different level.

[@CraigPark]

🤡

[@fredfrond6148]

@@CraigParklike you called it?

[@geeksworkshop]

He was too small for Dustin, so I see the same thing here.

[@kaihans1371]

First

[@AxeRedrum]

Yes he can. But will that win him the fight? Justin needs less contact to do more damage. And that is the problem. Max can not damage Justin as easily as Justin can damage him, that's what i think. Imho, its going to be the best fight on the card. 🇺🇲🪓☠️

[@WonderboyMMA]

🙏 I appreciate your opinion! We are super pumped for the fight as well!

[@seizonsha]

Justin finished Dustin and can also wrestle. Styles make fights but Max is a striker. Can he overwhelm Justin? Justin has that power that can ko Max. Like both guys and don't want to see them fight.
