Ortega has a lot of heart. Halloway is the real deal. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.
Max is levels about Brian no head movement Ortega. Completely pieced him up. I wanna see Conor-Max 2, I think Max takes it this time.
I kind of do too.
I think Max's boxing is the best in the UFC. He's so crisp and utilizes that length to maximum effect. Look at his body of work. Ate up Aldo twice! Pieces up an undefeated Ortega. Flatlined Frankie. His fights are all entertaining to boot...dude will stand in the middle of the ring and throw hands. I'm becoming a huge Holloway fan. _________________ KOBE

Yea Max is one of if not the best striker in the UFC. Him and Tony Ferg would also be an epic fight, and Ferg already called him out. I'm on the Max train now too.

I love both guys but dayum. Max is next level. Not just the performance but what he came back from to showcase it. Unreal when you think about it.
I still have some worries for him long-term if only because they never really got a diagnosis but, when healthy, he’s the best. Definitely would love to see him rematch with Conor. Don’t want to see him against Ferguson.
Bullet was the predictable winner. Glad she finally got her strap. _________________ We back.
Props to Max, showed how far he has come and how well rounded he is.
His motor and aggressiveness stand out, but his precision, his head movement, and also his take down defense were all very impressive too. I absolutely love how fluid his striking is in terms of switching stance, distance, angles, and just being able to real off 4 or 5 shots in a combination then slide out of whatever comes back at him. Makes him tough to prepare for and tough to stop.
Landing 300+ shots over 4 rounds to an undefeated #1 challenger is just outright crazy. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.
Vs Khabib - Loss, does lots of damage but in the end gets taken down and mauled
Vs Ferguson - Win, bloodbath possibly most entertaining fight ever
Vs McCregor - Win, outclasses McGregor with superior cardio. Makes a statement by taunting when he knows McGregor's engery is drained
Vs Porier - Win, takes some damage but his striking proves to be superior with faster hands and timing
Vs Lee - Decision loss, close fight that Lee wins by wrestling him to death
Good choices. I'd put money on Max if he's a massive underdog against Khabib.
That's a great point as well JB. It's worth the risk cuz at this point I'm not doubting Max. If he's able to beat up Khabib's face for a round or 2 those takedown attempts will have far less fervor

I would too.
It's the only way I bet, which I rarely do. I put $20 down on Holyfield in his first meeting with Tyson back in the day at 8-1.
Am I the only one that thinks Max doesn't beat Ferguson?
I think Tony has a lot of similar qualities to Max in that he's aggressive, has a great motor and pushes the pace on his opponent seemingly at will.
Khabib aside, I think Tony is the toughest challenge there for Max. Tony is bigger, can take punishment and can be pretty unpredictable at times in there.
I don't see Kevin Lee as a problem for Max either. Max is very good at controlling distance. If Kevin is gonna take him down, he's gonna eat a lot of shots on the way there. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.
You're not the only one GTR I think it can go either way.
But the reason I give Max the nod is because Tony eats a lot of shots. I think he'll take too much damage to impose his will on Max.
But if Tony is able to create a scramble situation Max could be in trouble.
You know what's funny fellas is this is one of those rare times when Dana White is right. There is nothing left for Max at 145. 155 is where all the interesting fights and accolades are
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight veteran Nate Diaz, who previously demanded $30 million to complete his trilogy with Conor McGregor, is willing to cut his asking price in half to challenge Tyron Woodley, simply because “The Chosen One” is not the “Notorious” pay-per-view (PPV) draw the trash-talking Irishman has already proven to be.
