Ain’t that the truth Gaethje Holloway and Poirier will forever be immortalised amongst true fans! Best era of Lightweights I’ve seen in my 17 years watching this craft! Edit: 100% Chandler and Oliveria are in this as well! All 5 are absolute legends of the game!

​@@jaked9268nahh dont do chuck dirty like that 😮

[@chrisdanks741]

Not even just them. The 5 horseman of lightweight/featherweight. Gaethje, Porier, Olives, Holloway and Chandler. These 5 dudes have all fought each other, with the exception of Holloway vs Chandler, which I’m guessing we will see before they are both retired, and every single fight between them have been absolute BANGERS.

[@MoistMann]

Not really Porier but I agree with the rest. Porier tries to hard to be a “nice guy” when really he steals money from his own “charity work” he cheats on his wife and uses the “I know how to fight so I’m gonna assert my dominance” In the cage great fighter goes to war every time but to be cemented in the likes of Holloway and Gaethje you’re gotta be great outside the cage

[@dakinikiss]

I was kcompetely losing my mind watching Gatti-Ward I. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. II and III were great too. But the first one was absolutely mind blowing. That said, the ending of this BMF was the most dramatic ending to any combat sports that I have ever even heard of. I will never be topped.

[@fred338]

😂😂😂lameeee

[@nomakeanykine]

I love Max and being from the same island as him, you can say I’m a big fan. However Dustin vs Max is not a good fight for Max. Dustin is just to big and to strong compared to Max. It’s like David vs Goliath with Max being David. Only difference is Goliath being the winner in this match up.

[@masteh7964]

@@nomakeanykine Did... did you watch this recent fight? Everything you're saying people said about Gaethje before this fight.

[@nomakeanykine]

@@masteh7964 I didn’t watch the full fight between MH vs JG, I only caught the highlights. However I’ve seen the MH vs DP fight which I believe Dustin and max fought each other twice but could be wrong!! Anyways DP smashed on Max in there last fight together…don’t get me wrong, max battled and held on until the end of the 5th round, unfortunately it was a one sided fight with Dustin being the more dominant fighter as far as speed, power, and technique.

[@masteh7964]

@nomakeanykine Idk, man. I personally would only give Dustin the power advantage even in that fight. Max takes speed and technique, and imo he won at least 2 rounds. Also again imo I think if he had more power and pop to his shots like Dustin, at that time, he would have won.

[@kris_p_bacon3416]

For those that dont know, Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti were pro boxers....those dudes went to war, fought with broken hands, had arenas shaking from their performances. Two individuals earned respect of fans and eachother. Look those fights up!!!!!

[@ChrisDeVarro]

Two REAL WARRIORS

[@reeses712300]

It is INSANE that some people thought Justin would run through Max!! The same guy that beat Aldo several times and went to wars with Volk and McGregor in his prime also willing to go to short notice war with Khabib which would have been AWESOME

[@scottsterling4713]

Most people thought Justin would win. Look at Justin’s resume and who he fought… the guy killed the boogeyman Tony Ferguson then went on to fight killers like khabib, oliveira, Dustin etc… max is a killer too but he fought at 145. Generally when two people have similar skill sets, the bigger guy wins. Also, if max didn’t pull a spinning back kick that broke Justin’s nose, it may have been a very different fight. You been to the dentist before? How hard is it just to breathe through your nose while they are cleaning your teeth. Now imagine only breathing through your mouth while a monster like max is punching you straight in the face. Yeah do that for 20 mins then get back to me.

[@hp450k7]

​@@scottsterling4713yeah I think the nose is what made Justin so gassed during the end of the fight

[@randomname5646]

He did not fight McGregor in his prime, and only the 2nd Volk fight was close.

[@reeses712300]

@@randomname5646 He absolutely fought McGregor in his prime and within 12 months of that fight beat every opponent until Diaz. Unless you're saying Max wasn't in his prime and I would agree. But still gave McGregor trouble and Volk is just a different animal

[@brandonovich6063]

Max doesn't have any history of poking, it's clearly an accident, it's also because of the bad gloves Dana uses for UFC

[@megashark1013]

​@@SteveAustin-wt6cv That's a fucking shot excuse. They were the only two eye pokes of the entire event. If it were "bound to happen", it would be more common.

[@mikestrom6178]

@@megashark1013I mean it is fairly common in the UFC, they were going to get better gloves but the UFC wanted to buy out the company instead of working with them and the partnership fell apart. I’m not saying eye poking is cool or good but it is sadly a not uncommon factor in these fights.

This fight wasn’t as much of a barn burner as people are making it out to be. Max dominated 90% of that fight other than leg kicks and that 1 flash knockdown in round 4 Gaethje just didn’t have anything for Holloway at all. What made it insane was the sequence at the end leading to the finishing KO but we’re not going to sit here and act like that was a FOTY candidate.
