There will never be another guy like Max. Granite chin, endless cardio, overwhelming pressure, and still willing to stand and trade in a fight he's winning 4-1.

[@FreakZMMA]

everyone with "never taken down or never dropped" seems to be taken down and dropped these days, father time is ticking

[@i_Hydra]

@@FreakZMMAhe did get dropped for the first time in this fight. But yeah Father Time does catch up to everyone. Hopefully max can leave before that.

[@Pedrotirado271]

The fact that max didn’t jump in the Illia looming scared thing, and said what he said just shows how classy he is

[@KiteQ444]

He's him people do act like he's 38 fighting he's still 32 in his prime

[@pilsung26]

Fair, but the mileage is insane to still have that spirit & chin 👏

[@wonderboytroy7484]

Man looked like he just leveled up AGAIN. Seems like a lot of his previous 145 fights didn’t get him up like this did. He showed up and showed out.

[@xSawatdee]

Agreed. Blessed knows that he’s been in wars too. I remember in an interview years back that he barely spars anymore due to the trauma. He was being proactive about extending his career then. It’s paying off now and maybe potentially later.

[@izakmysteryo]

Max is the best but let's be real he's an OLD 32, Goat has been fighting for a long time and his are fight fights

“Blessed Man Forever” - Jarome Holloway

[@ymb7873]

“Is that French?”

[@n_cog_neato]

Max deserves all the respect but Gaethje too. He knew he was cooked in every round, and that last 10 seconds they awarded us with was absolutely epic. Holloway risked that entire fight on those last 10 seconds. Gaethje showed up. He went down with his honor. I’m glad I saw it live, I’ll never forget it.

[@itsyaboi5488]

Gosh I respect tf outta this guy, been a fan of his since his Connor loss and the man has been such a stud since. I like both guys but I needed a max win so bad becuz peeps were calling him washed

[@aquad9337]

Speaking of Conner, he ain’t say NOTHING. No one wants the smoke

[@bryanscott4592]

I was there in Boston when he lost to connor. Would have never thought he would turn out the have this kind of career all those years later.

[@incognitokilo855]

He’s never been washed but, what makes him vulnerable to newer younger fighters is his fight plan it’s been the same for years

[@ethanrodriguez9961]

This guy is such a gem we really need to cherish every moment he's still in this octagon because when he's gone no one can replace him.

[@Fetzkoo]

He 32! We have plenty of time relax

[@mike7984]

Him calling his wife John wick just shows their relationship. She is literally half of him. Love

[@Wrastling77]

Max Holloway is the MAN! He has been the most exciting fighter to watch for years! Win or lose that dude is walking entertainment!

he could fight anyone topuria probably makes sense next but he can fight poirier islam oliveira mcgregor etc

[@wonderboytroy7484]

It’ll be Illia but I’d like him to fight at 155 again. He looked GREAT tonight. He was legit bigger than Justin.

[@incognitokilo855]

Justin was a good match up, but those other guys at 155 is fr scary

[@troyspencer712]

One of the best ever to do it.

It's not that people were sleeping on max, but after what Justin done to someone like el cucuy is scary, he changed tony in huge ways he has scary power, and I'll be honest, I thought if anyone can drop max Justin could because that man can bang, but max is a wonderful soul 🔥🔥🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Shallowballow]

Bro Justin choked so hard wtf …. This is crazy

[@Ironfangzu]

Justin gave everything he had for 5 full rounds, nose broken, maybe ribs broken. He got destroyed for 5 rounds, but did not back down one step. To say he choked is to give Max no credit, like saying Justin should have had an easy win but choked it away. On this day, Max was just a monster who beat Justin to the punch every time. Don't call Justin a choker, because you discredit both both Justin and Max by saying that, and they were both real warriors.

[@Shallowballow]

@@Ironfangzu Gatehje is my fav fighter to ever do it but he didn’t look good from the start tbh

[@jayce6262]

@@Shallowballowdo you know why though? no hate at all, but it’s because of how good max looked all around. from the end of the first round it was a wrap, that broken nose paved the way for the 4-0 til the 5th

Max is such a fun fighter but he needs to stay at 145. He can’t beat the top 5 fighters at 155.
