Dustin has improved so much over the last few years. Dude’s got brilliant standup. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles Khabib.

Dustins style of fighting is a cake walk for Khabib

[@jmiahrealone]

B.Barnes WS Doesn't do much good when he gets taken down so easily and held there till the time runs out. But I hope Dustin wins as he is much more exciting of a fighter and he is overall more well rounded.

[@gamersinger5118]

@Blood Orange Sun Personally I would love for Porier to shut him down. Not sure if it will happen but it would be great to see that hypocrite humbled.

[@CR-nz7qn]

i think Khabib will destory his striking abilities just with mental pressure, when you fight a guy and you know if you make a mistake he is going to jump for your legs is a totally different fight.

[@1Learn2Swim3]

Holloway is an incredible fighter and performer. Such a humble dude too. But you have to wonder if he needs to start moving his style of fighting away from the toe 2 toe brawling we all love to watch. Remember he had to pull out of the Ortega fight originally because of a concussion (KZbin the interview when he was on another planet) and he took a TON of damage against Poirier. Dudes a great guy, I'd fucking hate to see him end up punchy and less of a person than he was.

[@MrRhubarbs]

The concussion thing is overblown. The UFC did all these tests and found nothing that pointed to that. On a ama recently Max said he knew what happened but he wasn't allowed to talk about it which kinda sounds like something sketchy happened to him like poisoning etc. Can't have been something he did to himself cos 1 he's an honest person and 2 saying he's 'not allowed' sounds like legal drama

[@1Learn2Swim3]

Poisoning? Seems like stretch. If he was poisoned and had ongoing legal matters regarding it, they would be in the form of a criminal prosecution which would be public along with civil suits or whatever which can be very secretive. I don't buy that. I think he probably got his bell rung in sparring (gyms do have NDA's that fighters sign) or had to do with cutting weight. Either way he's taken a lot of damage in his career and those stand and bang guys more often than not develop some serious neurological problems far more often than the Lyoto Machida type fighters. I hope he bounces back from this L and goes on another run

[@MrRhubarbs]

[@hgkal808]

Props to DP. He got the job done. Max got messed up big time. It was clear to see that part of the strategy was to allow Max to get 2 or 3 for one bomb. I'm a biased Hawaiian. Holloway had a horrible corner and game plan. No adjustments the whole fight. Max got hit with one shot right hands and counter rights all night. Not one attack to the front leg all night to neutralize power. Not enough finishing combos with kicks. Not enough body work. DP got to load up on his big shots. Max never used his speed advantage. He tried the same Ortega strategy and paid the price.

[@hurfdurfy8167]

Max landed 78 significant body strikes. He did a decent amount of body work if you ask me. Guy almost threw 1000 shots in this fight.

[@hgkal808]

@MrBrenman21 Ahhh. But you are in a position to say that "I am not in a position" to critic the corner. Hypocritical or not? Just saying. In my opinion... a corner is judged by fight strategy and in fight adjustments. I am certainly in a position to judge that. Max was overly agreesive to a fault. Push the pace but not at the expense of getting hit with TOO MANY power shots. 5 from DP is maybe equal to 10 of Ortega. Who said leg kicks are only meant to stop power shots? Sometimes it is about an opponent who is loading up on the front foot and/or disturbing balance. No? You sir do not know me. Why act like you do? Of course I am no tough guy. I bet you are though. Max was not in and out for the first two rounds like before he was the champ. In the pocket is not his thing early. He tried to bang it out too early. He is Deep Water Holloway. Split the first 4 at worse and push like hell in the 5th. DP WON. No fefe. I am a Holloway fan from da westside. He tried something new. First round set the tone.

[@hgkal808]

@MrBrenman21 I didn't see it in this one. I think he is the quicker and faster fighter. DP had a lot to do to neutralize that. But I also did not see enough angles. His style seemed as if he was continuing from the Ortega 4th round.

[@hgkal808]

@@hurfdurfy8167 He did work the body, yes. But not significent enough IMO. DP just ate most of it. IMO he should have taken DP on a 4minute mile run for the first 2 rounds then work the body or incorporate knee strikes and/or leg kicks to the body.

[@hgkal808]

@MrBrenman21 Been coachin for over 20+ years. I usually let the yung uns run their mouth. I seen too many posers who quit after a week or only train after an ass kickin.

Not adjusting for the overhand right or the power jab is troublesome.

The reason Max looks small at 155 is because he has very little muscle on his body. If he had more muscle on his frame he might not be able to make 145.

[@milesdvd]

So he is 5'10 fighting 145 because 155 is to big for him.. he should have been able to put on 10 pounds of decent muscle, he was not fighting a champion i cant give him the pass. Dustin is good but max should have been able to beat him clean and solidify his championship run at 145

[@StallionFernando]

@@milesdvd i don't thunk you know how hard it is to put on 10lbs of lean muscle...he would need at least a couple months for that and then it would make 145 all that much more harder to reach or unreachable due to the muscle. Putting the 10lbs of muscle while also doing his regular training camp would be too much work oh his body and could burn out his central nervous system, specially when weight trining is involved.

Poirier has had lots of time to size up to the 155lbs division. If Max decided to make the move permanently he could put on some size and really take the division on

[@OfficialPaulBrix]

This was my exact thought. Max immediately moved up and fought a powerful, experienced, and veteran 155er. If Max really wants to stay at 155 he needs to put on some solid muscle. His cardio is more than enough.

But those three are not exactly what I would consider true top tier fighters. Then again the only aspect about Khabib that is top tier is his takedown ability and literally nothing else. He is no GSP, that is for sure.

Poirer's bjj is just as effective as both Pettis and Tony Ferguson. People forget poirer was the first person in ufc history to have multiple D'Arce choke wins.

Don't forget he beat both these guys when they were rookies, and Poirier was too compromised at 145 he is a completely different person than the poirer that fought Conor.

[@fadoo6869]

Lol you can’t ask that now. Khabib fans will come flocking with the “mctapper” and “chicken” because Conor has lost about 10 fights to submission in their minds

I know right? It was disappointing to see him lose but he was out of the octagon for quite a while. I went back to see the mcgregor vs alvarez fight after seeing max lose. I am even more admiring of mcgregor's abilities now and at 155lbs. We're definitely seeing him again and we're seeing him win this year@@fadoo6869

@@larryturner3996 Remember Conor doing that at 145 not 155 and overrated? You and I both know Dustin doesn't even get the credit he deserves, let alone being overrated man. There is a big difference when you are Dustin's size and cut to 145 rather than 155. Look how well Pettis did going for 170...knocked out wonderboy. on the sauce....yes now, hasn't been dinged once for the "sauce" but he's only winning now because he's on it, since the testing for the "sauce" has become so inefficient these days. He's definitely flying under the radar..

[@treycotter]

Holloway’s a taller guy so it’s going to be hard for him to gain muscle, but if he doesn’t add muscle he’s going to fail at 55. However if he gains too much muscle as a taller guy it would be hard for him to stay at 55. Max is in a bad situation right now

[@dustinjay8020]

Trey Cotter right. If he stays at 155 he needs more strength training, but if it works he'll be cutting just as much as he is at FW. Kind of defeating the purpose

[@theoutdoorsman9726]

Brendan is talking about max as the greatest featherweight of all time? Look, max is great, don’t get me wrong, but how quickly everyone forgets. Aldo is definitely best featherweight ever. He was the champ for years, and even before the ufc took in the featherweight division, he was the FW champ in the WEC. Aldo beat everybody during his reign. He was dominant for so long. But it seemed liked that ko from Conor McGregor changed him. I guess being KO’d to unconsciousness in 13 seconds to lose you title will do that to a person. But whatever the case, he was not the same after that and after a couple losses people quickly forgot about how dominant he was for all those years. He has looked better as of late tho. Maybe he’s finally gonna get back to his old self again? 🤞 here’s hoping 🤞

[@stillnessinmovement]

I think if your gonna go up you gotta retool your body and training to optimize. it takes time to really get power and timing and speed together, and you gotta adjust your strategy. I really dislike how dana pushes these type of superfights. I respect folks who are willing to take the challenge but id rather see the athletes in top form.

[@stillnessinmovement]

@rusty shackleford I dunno. he's taller than DP. I think if he decided to go for it, really dial his body and strategy in for heavier guys, he could do well. 8 weeks isn't enough time to do that, it seemed like he used same strategy vs ortega and poirer. always a mistake, of course DP watched that fight and figured out a counter to it. I really think DP did a great job, more than anything MH did or not do. Max is still young and he is curious, so I think he will learn and grow from this.

[@tomwalker389]

[@dakingofmines2589]

*If Max would've had an additional 6 seconds when he applied that choke this would be a TOTALLY different conversation. I think Max should stay at 155. Truth be told, there was plenty of times where it looked like Max was about to knock Dustin out. Give Max 1 full year at 155 and he will be on a different level.*

[@petars4444]

hahaha "if he had" ... Poirier said he knew what time he has and he knew that Max wont choke him, so it was Poirier`s wisdom, so calm your tities.

[@petars4444]

@Irving Ceron Exactly. Am I saying something else? Dustin told that it was great choke but he knew he cant finish him with it because of time he had. He knew how much he can stand in choke, Dustin has wicked underated bjj

[@peopleschamp1944]

Yeah i could see dustin fading a few times.. Max pressure was something else, if he had the power he would be knocking guys out

[@dustingaskin567]

Idk about him knocking him out. I just think Poirier was tired in those 3rd and 4th rounds from throwing and landing those bombs early. But he caught a second wind and won that 5th round imo to win the fight. But I agree, that choke was in deep.... But you can't say "he almost" or "if he'd had more time". That's just the game and you can't use that excuse. It was a great fight and a war but all that doesn't matter bc Poirier still won the fight (rightfully so). But I do agree that he should stay at 155!! I disagree with them and Dana about that. For Max's first ever lw fight they threw him in there against a big, strong and powerful 155er who was ranked #3 at the time (he's #2 now behind only Khabib). And Holloway still done great!! Made it a war and barley lost! I think with time Holloway can bulk up a lil bit more and get more power behind his punches at 155. Bc besides that he still looked amazing! He still moved fast, threw a lot of volume, had an iron chin at 155 too (not having to cut that extra weight usually helps your chin too) bc Poirier was landing bombs on him and landing a huge knee that split his head open and Max never folded! And Poirier's finished guys like Pettis, Alvarez and Gaethje with those punches but not Max and his cardio was still great as well. The difference in the fight was the power and the damage Poirier inflicted. But with time I believe Max could get more power and be stronger at 155 and REALLY be a threat in the lw division! I hope he goes back to 155 bc with more time he'd do nothing but get better at 155... And also who's really left for him at 145 lbs? Ortega was the big one we wanted to see and Max turned him into a human punching bag and beat the shit out of him! (Rogan kept saying it was a war but he's just being biased. There was nothing competitive about that fight!). And he's already beat AND finished Aldo twice! All that's left is maybe Edgar? And even tho I'm a big Edgar fan, I just don't see him beating Max. That's why I'd like to see him go back to 155. I really think after a couple fights and after his body gets adjusted to it, he'd be a fucking monster in the lw division as well!

[@dustingaskin567]

@@petars4444 That is true. Poirier used to finish a lot of his fights by submission. He's a legit black belt in bjj and has a very underrated ground game. Just watch the Pettis fight.
