[@IronReef77]

One of the most game fighters in the UFC roster. His legacy will pay dividends for him

[@burkhartlaw1]

He was right. We saw a new version of Max Holloway and it was awesome. One of the best knockouts of all time.

[@Rocky-N-Angel]

I am such a big fan of both these guys and Porier. IMO the 3 toughest guys in the 145-155 divisions. They all 3 are absolute animals.

[@Walken187]

Best is blessed

[@levidoll2057]

Love how Holloway never lost the pidgin in the way he talks

[@kjthreehundred8911]

Only fighters to overwhelm max on the feet were volk and Dustin. Volk had amazing quickness and angles, Dustin is very durable and has heavy punches. If Justin can’t get going he’s going to get reckless and max will pick him apart. Not to mention max will have the most power behind his punches than he ever has in his career. I got max by decision

[@ohyabuddy12]

Well said, justin tends to go wreckless mode real quick when things to play out his way like the oliveria fight.

[@akakazuto8147]

kj you the goat, you picked the fight apart before it started. in points of the fight you can see max pick up the pace and be technically while justin was slower trying to throw some bomb shots

[@1995killswitch]

Damn that was cold af at the end when talking about the 145 champ Felt like max was smoking that topuria pack already

[@magicmike97m]

Max has said that before. He said they didn't give him Topuria cause they wanted him to make it to the title fight with 0 defeats (for marketing reasons). I believe him. But at the same interview he said that he predicts Volk to beat Topuria and we all know what happened. My take is Illia is special and can scrap it with anyone. I dont know how people havent figured that out yet.

[@MrsButterworth]

@@magicmike97m If gaethje cant crack max's chin then I doubt topuria could...which means max would win

[@akakazuto8147]

@@magicmike97mbrooooo topuria looked like he wants to take his comment back and go fight sean o malley instead after that knockout😭😭

[@magicmike97m]

@@akakazuto8147 He really did look like that 😂 Max is one of my all time favourites, but I still think Illia can beat him.

[@tokiburoak7457]

Holloway should be fighting Topuria not Gaethje.

[@phobosex7504]

it is what it is

[@MrRobjs83]

Yep, plus should also be: Islam vs Charles 2 at 301 in 🇧🇷, trilogy between Justin and Dustin, and rematch between Arman Tsarukyan and Gamrot (both fights being title eliminators)

[@ItsReplayBro]

Think about what you just said. Illia just won the belt, do you think he wants to defend it not even 3 months later ?

[@tokiburoak7457]
