Max looking a lot more serious than usual. Already thought people were too easily dismissing him and this is giving me more confidence in Max getting a win or at least a very strong performance.

[@mathiaskovendy7292]

Bro looks like he's feeling the weight cut to me

[@porkerpete7722]

​@@mathiaskovendy7292you mean weight gain? Tf you on, Max had solid weight cuts at 45.

[@philippculture489]

​@@porkerpete7722remember when Max wanted to step in against Khabib? He wasn't allowed to fight because he had to cut too much weight in one week to fight 155. He has to cut a lot for this fight even without any gains. But that's not the weight cut, watch the last episodes on his yt-channel. Max looks sick, talks slow and doesn't really move well. I really hope he doesn't go into a Gaethje fight after being sick. Because it takes weeks to perform at optimum again

[@samgonzales3860]

@@philippculture489looks happy to me

[@philippculture489]

@@samgonzales3860 yeah I take that L. Max performance was awesome and he proved to be the BMF. I should have known better, Justin's team said the whole camp "he looks better than ever", "his weight is optimal",... Which is always a sign that something is really wrong. He looked like he is at 50% against Max. But that takes nothing away from Maximus gladiator performance. Gaethje and Turner were the only fights I predicted wrong. Happens
