I love max . Huge heart real warrior, but please do not feed him to khabib ever, khabib would maul him easy I think style wise Khabib is worst match up for max ever, cause max is tall lanky weak wrestling compared to khabib and Max is high volume puncher with no KO power , khabib would be feasting on him , dont want to see it

Right! He looked the best he's ever looked last night and there's a lot more contenders upcoming that are interesting matchups like yair, zabit, moicano, etc.

[@raymagsoudlou7609]

Ortega needs to work his wrestling so he can score takedowns. When you're great at BJJ, but can't use it due to not being able to get your opponent to the ground, it's a huge problem.

Salion max is the real deal. He didn’t claim to be the goat either. Guy has respect for himself but did you actually listen to the words coming out of his mouth?

I love Max but I still think he is not the all time best fw he did lose to Dustin Poirier by submission and Denis B beat him along time ago and Conor. I think he could beat all of them now though! Aldos career has been so good he has beat Faber, Mike Brown, cub Swason, Frankie twice, The Koran Zombie 🧟‍♂️, Jeremy Steveson, Ricardo Lamas, and Chad Mendes twice. Just saying!

HijackDelta 1 nope khabib needs to lose to Tony first

[@sten40too1]

@@vato4917 Khabib vs Tony is also very interesting but I think Khabib just has the perfect style to neutralize Tony, Takedown and pressure. Whilst GSP has insane takedown defense, is bigger, stronger and has amazing striking especially his jab to keep distance. Tony gets taken down easily, and I believe the chances of Tony submitting Khabib are very very slim, khabib is just another level of a grappler.
