I’m sure it’s tough as a coach to see someone you care about give up on themselves in competition, but that choice is not his to make. In fact it’s his duty and responsibilities to advocate on behalf of his fighter to call as stop to the fight

[@KatDaddyKat]

From what I remember, Max took this fight on less than one weeks notice. This was his UFC debut as well so he was basically a last minute fill in and likely wasn’t physically or mentally prepared enough for this level of competition. He gassed out after the first and got beat down in the second round. Dana White actually defended him in the press conference after the event. Basically saying when a fighters done, they are done. No point in getting further damaged to just appear tough. Max has come out after the fact that he was very depressed after this and stopped training for a while, deleted his social media and didn’t leave his home. He realized he needed to work on himself mentally and that he was fighting for all the wrong reasons. Now he has started training again and I think has a fight coming up in a smaller promotion.

[@KatDaddyKat]

@Dr.Sir Bruce Armstrong Mother Fucker The Third that’s amazing to hear!! I didn’t do any research of his fights after all this. Last I heard he was looking to fight again and had something booked. Happy to see he’s back on the grind and racking up wins again. Hope he makes it back to the UFC.

​@BillySmith-np5zn I mean I feel that. But, he wasn't physically done or beaten. He was beat before he got in the ring. He said after that he didn't think he was deserving to be there and shit. He beat himself, not the opponent. So I'm sure his people knew this and that is why they didn't want him to quit. It's different when a fighter has truly given everything and just has nothing left. Then let them quit. Pushing your guy to not give up on themselves is diff, I think. That's part of what they are there for, no? To push you to be the best you can be.

@@namechange9470 idk I think about Golota quitting against Mike Tyson and his trainer’s pushed him to continue and it turned out he had broken something in the back of his neck when Tyson dropped him with an overhand right. So that’s why I say if he wants to quit, let him quit.
