It's crazy that Conor and Max's first fight was only on the prelims, they met when they were both so early in their careers and both of them are legends now
The rematch will never happen unfortunately
Yeah it’s wild add Poirier to that list also
Conor was levels ahead then too… but he peaked and then it’s just been slowly down hill. Max has only gotten better over the years. Same can he said for Dustin, another guy Conor beat early on.
@@tydupont8084 Conor messed up his career moving up and staying at 155. Before the leg break, I really dont think he was washed. He lost to killers, just had
no business hanging around at lightweight. Max has been a lot more consistent but we all know he would rack up more losses had he stayed also at lightweight. Their fighting styles are more suited for featherweight.
@@ThePc-DjHubwhy would it? They’re separated by 35+ lbs?.. only idiots would expect otherwise.
We need to appreciate guys like Max, Dustin, Justin while they are still here. These guys gave us some of the best fights we will ever see!
Stop talking
@@supawanvaitayakul1347 oooooh big man lol
@@supawanvaitayakul1347we got an internet tough guy in the house! Watch out everyone! 😂
@@austinrandall1273talk all you want. That man’s soul is crying. Hope he finds the light
@godlymajins Jesus ain't love you homie
Aljo is moving up a weigh class and he just called for a fight with Max & that honestly makes the most sense former champs going for that number 1 contender spot
Max " Well see what happens " Holloway.. love this dude
Bro Justin vs Max would be a banger!
Justin would never
I don't really wanna see Max take the damage he would take in that fight tbh. I say that as a fan who wants to see him live to be able to talk to his grandkids.
Lol Gaethje would demolish him.
Would end like tony
Max has reached this level to where he doesn’t have to talk or anything really leading up to his fights and we’re in awe of him. He’s only like 32
Except when he faces volk. Then he’s a good little boy 👦
Max is a legend.
And guys, let's not even respond to some of these comments in here. 😉
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever don’t do max like that, I’m a massive Volk fan since I’m Australian but Max is a great dude and an even greater fighter
Time for the Blessed Highlight
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever no one will remember you but max is an all time great. Respect to volk.
Max will always be one of my favorites definitely hall of famer when the time comes
Prime Conor vs prime Max would have been one for the ages. Power, fluidity and technique vs technique, volume and cardio. Now I just see Max probably running away with it vs how Conor schooled him in fight 1 when they were younger.
I think the fight would be Diaz/Conor 2 all over again
It NEVER happens. Conor hasn't been able to make 155 in YEARS. That's why he wants to fight 155ers at 170. Max is a small 155er.
Conor has only ever won ONE fight at 155, and that was against Eddie.
@@GrizzleGearDid Khabib defend his 170 pound title against Conor?
@@duramaxdad What is your comment even supposed to mean? He made 155 for that fight, but it was over 5 years ago. So my comment stands. He hasn't been able to make 155 in years. He is 170 lb, and wants to fight 155 errs at 170
@@GrizzleGear If Connor won the lightweight belt and challenged for lightweight belt yer whole comment can’t stand. How many fights at lightweight is that?
HOLLOWAY GONNA HURT EM FOR THAT TOWEL MOVE
I would absolutely love Edson vs Max!!! Two of my favorite fighters👊👊
Max talking bout sipping that mud that boy leanin 🍇🪻
Max "we see what happens" Holloway
Max "it is what it is" Holloway
😭😭😭
“We’ll see what happens “😂😂😂
Max just solid as ever
Should’ve asked him about aljo
Where time stamps
I swear Conor could be in his 60s and on a six-fight losing streak and ESPN would still be asking guys if they want that fight.
Max has achieved everything in the sport now its about having fun lets go
I would like to see him move up to lightweight, if he fully commits and bulk up a bit he can be a problem for sure
@@kellenbarnett2814 if Volk moved up, Max would not lose to anyone else at FW... Topuria is a problem but I think Max still beats him... Would love to see him and Conor rematch at 55 too.
@@Kngzla23Topuria submits him in the second round, lets be real
@@Giorginho literally the only one at 45 that could even come close 💯
@@Giorginho"let's be real" hahaha so dumb
Justin vs Max might be the first time we see Max get KO’d
Make this happen yes I would love to see this rematch 🫶🏼👍🏽🤙🏼
Kava is great. Had it many times growing up in Hawaii.
Crazy people still call the Lahaina fires “ wild fires”
Max is the best! ❤
I'm so privileged to witness this man compete live at UFC 236 in ATL 🙌🏾
Would love too see max have a proper go at lightweight
i'm literally going to buy some just too try it
Holloway/McGregor...Yes!
Max is gettin punchy man. Couldnt even remember the word caffeine
max really is an amazing mixed martial artist, who the heck watches a gaethje fight and is like...yea i wanna step into the cage with that guy lol. goat
Max vs Gaethje buildup gon be crazy. That towel incident will be wild for the storyline
LG Max!
Can we please get Max the Gaethje or the Aljo fight plz!!
Max will absolutely destroy aljo
Easily.
Idk man if Aljo is relentless with the Takedwons he could quietly get Maxs back
Best boxer in the UFC
Dana needs to get this man a fight..
I could see Max beating Gaethje for sure
Gaethje has too much power. And he’s patient now, but still throws hands like crazy if he needs to. I don’t see it personally but I love Max.
Lol no one really believes this.
Nope I see Justin finishing Max
@@stevep4236 yeah because Max is always being finished..
No
The Blessed Express is just getting started and I'm just glad I can witness it.
Max makes a good point if McGregor ain’t headlining 300 and Aspinall Jones Alex Izzy ain’t making turn arounds to be on that card then Justin vs Max for the BMF would be a sick fight
Since Oliveira next for Makhachev, Gaethje shouldn't wait for 1 year. Holloway vs Gaethje for BMF and next 155 title shot makes sense.
Gaethje vs Gamrot
Man I love max
This would actually be a great legacy fight for both fighters. Having a win over Max would look great on anyone’s resume so I think Justin should take it.🤷🏽♂️ however I do see him doing him like he did Tony Ferguson personally😬
I don’t think he’s going to do him that bad lol but i do think gaethje will win its going to be a Holloway vs poirier 2 all over again. Holloway will out strike him but gaethje Will damage him more since hes bigger.
Wait we can by kava at a corner store now????
Max is in a very select class of champions where win or lose, he always wins.
Max is a lot like DC before his HW career. Won every fight against everyone not named Jon for DC and Same for Max …not named Volk. For Max he’s the loved Champ. Volk comes along and reigns supreme. He’s Maxs kyptonite and everyone else’s too not named Islam. The space time continuum reigns champ over all.
Love ya Max
The Cte is crazy
Max the goat ❤
I read intervention
Max vs Justin would be interesting.
Max, don't waste your time with Conor McGregor. That dude is never going to fight again in the UFC!
Conor just entered the USADA pool. Why put yourself in the pool if hes never fighting again...cmon bro
@@nyteowl8069 , Conor McGregor is trolling! He has not intentions in really fighting. Conor just want to be talked about! He is on social media more than an IG model!
Holloway threw shade at Lucas Tracy😭😭😭
My boy max pushing kratom without even knowing what it is lol I lovr kratom
Max gets hit way too much and relies on outlasting his opponents. Someone with power like Justin would turn him into the next Tony Ferguson. No thanks but I would still watch.
Not sure I would like to see, Justin/Max 😕
Max Holloween
Max’s spokesman opportunities have left the chat.
The G.O.A.T 🐐🐐🐐
Max the legend🫡
I don't think Conor can lose enough weight to fight Max. No way should Max move up in weight, nor would it work out in his favor in any way. So not gonna happen.
Max wants to get revenge for the towel incident
👍
Wonder if he would be interested in aljo fight
Worst fight for Aljo. Max is literally a larger and more powerful suga sean
@@RealMattKieferhellno Suga got that accuracy and knock out power max is more consistent punches not really knock out power
@@DonTrump2024Bros looking at their body types and completely ignoring their fighting styles and tendencies
Everyone and their Mom and Aunt wants to fight Conor McGregor RN. Shows how little these guys are making when fighting.
I really think max vs Justin could go either way
People underestimating Max lmao
So glad more channels are doing fighter interviews so i can stay away from the weasel
Coner store 🏬 or bodayga that's facts
I love Max to death but that sales pitch for his drink needs some work
BMF Justin vs Max gotta happen
🐐
Mcnugget ain’t fighting max only fight he fighting it’s at least trying to get a winnable fight
Be wary of new brew. It contains a very addictive ingredient in kratom.
13:28 Connor wants to fight with everyone and don't fight with no one, Connor situation is weird and we don't know if he will fight again, Chandler lose his time for Connor what max would not do that
Max is like gastellum, feels like they've been in the game forever and they're barely just now in their early '30s.
I'm still not a fan of Max rematching Volk for the 4th time.
Like Alex said,
How many rematches can someone get offered? Until they eventually win?
When does it end?
it's not like max is colby, sitting on wins over guys who are retired. max keeps beating the other top guys at 145, that's why he keeps ending up back here. the ufc didn't even want to give him topuria bc of the risk of max beating him and stopping yet another top contender. yair only got his shot at the interim belt bc they didn't want max there again.
they know better than to give conor to blessed lol
I like DP fighting style but as as a person hes like (S)Izzy where as they both get their panties in a notch😂
We Want islam Interviews he is funny asf
What about Aljo
Feel so sorry for fighters like Max. His figure is best at 145 and so I don't really wanna see him go up to Lightweight as I don't see his style beating any of the current Top 5. But don't want him just fighting those lower in the ranks than him either and I don't think Volk drops the belt to go to Lightweight either and a 4th fight doesn't make sense either. Hope he makes a decision soon on his next fight otherwise perhaps one more and then sail off into the sunset with his smoking hot wife and Rush as he has nothing left to prove in the game.
I'm a fan of Max, but it's so annoying how he always says "I think so" when it should just be "I think". How does a person even use the English language on a daily basis for decades, and still not figure out such basic stuff like that? Perceptiveness and intelligence levels for the English language are off the charts low with Max. It's all love though. Haha
If he fights ghaetje and wins i can 100% see him fighting conor for a title shot.
This ”potential” Conor fight has been discussed since 2016. Get on with it
What is the drink they are talking about?
New Brew is a seltzer that has Kratom lol lowkey an addictive drug that is somehow legal
@@keepitlowkey3053yeah I’m not sure if I would want to try kratom
This Interview was an ad...
You inventing new ways to get high playa? 😁I'll try it
Justin would hurt him.
I love Conor but I don’t see him knocking max out what so ever he may be the cleanest & Accurate striker has ever had but he ain’t putting max out it they fight again max will out cardio him take all his best shots & take over as the fight goes on do the math lol max is just much better then Conor
Gaethje should fight a Lightweight. I'm tired of guys at the top of LW fighting featherweights and stalling the progression of their division. Let gaethje fight a LW and let's move this division along. That goes for Islam, too.
If you support him let’s buy this drink if anyone deserves to make Conor money it’s max
I tried listening to Brendan Allen but his mic was horrible. Also Max needs some coffee. Also how is every man on UA-cam engaged or happily married with a dream wife?
At the end of the day…
max v benoit sd
Wanting to fight Gaethje is insane.. finna become Ferguson 2.0
Holloway is a better matchup for Gaethje than a high level grappler like Gamrot that's for sure.
Max dont want no smoke w Gaethje , it wouldnt even be close! Sounds like max is talking drunk or a mouth full of marbles
Max 50-44’s him
Kava
Gaethje would end Max's career. I don't want to see this fight. Watching Tony take that beating was depressing.
Max's fight with Poirier was competitive, Gaethje got finished by Poirier before, Max vs Gaethje would be competitive too.
@@timurjack8773max doesnt have enough power to maintain the pace, sure he can outstrike gaethje but we apl know gaethje has a chin. i love max but this fight is terrible for him
@@VIRGINCYCLOPSmax is a volume fighter not a power puncher. It's ridiculous to say he can't keep the pace.
and he's literally got the best chin his weight classes Lol hasn't been dropped once his entire career.
Dustin finished gaethje but couldnt stop holloway.
this is a great fight imo.
Max is way better striker than Tony on boxing but gaethje power would prob get max in the end
@@Reginald02 gaethje arguably hits harder than poirier and poirier damaged max badly, yes max does throw more but can he keep that pace while dealing w heavier blows than normal? he has a chin but bros been in so many wars
Gaethje will demolish Holloway. I think Max is great, but he needs to be more realistic about that fight.
😂😂
Max is a fckn dog an best featherweight of all time an im not saying he couldn't beat justin but if it gos bad justin could hurt max bad i would pay for it but i wouldnt love it
Multimillionaire Max Holloway is happy he has an older kid because that means he has a free babysitter 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol now he using brother coming for dc daddest man on the planet
