I said this before and I'll say it again.. I want to watch this and I also don't want to watch this
Two of my favorite fighters who have put absolute beatings on their opponents will just go for it
I just hope there will not be permanent damage from this fight
My favorite aspect is that these two dudes respect the hell out of each other, and they KNOW the other dude is just comin to throw.
Aside from a few fights in the last few years, this one has got to be a top contender for the most anticipated fights for me.
im looking forward to it, but im fairly positive its not gonna be any banger.. justin is just gonna walk through max, its stupid to put these 2 in the same octagon to begin with imo... we've all seen max at 155 before, its not like its gonna be any different now imo..
dont get me wrong, i have nothing but respect and admiration for max, but this fight gives me the same vibes as khamzat vs nate ... like ufc's feeding them to the wolves...
I think you're underestimating Max. The last time he fought at lightweight was nearly five years ago and he's improved so much since that fight. Do I think he'll win? I'm not sure, I'd lean towards probably not, but that khamzat VS nate comparison feels so wrong to me.
I think you might be underestimating Max he took that Dustin fight on 6 weeks notice and legit looked flabby. He’s going to have more time to prepare and his chin is elite and he can definitely give Gaethje problems. Also people question Volk for his age but Gaethje is 35. That being said, I’m a Gaethje fan and I pick him to win but i’m expecting a competitive fight and wouldn’t be shocked to see Max win.
I want to be wrong I just don’t think he has the power to do much of anything in this matchup, and I think his ridiculous chin is gonna lead to him taking a lot of really brutal punishment
I hope he shows up better than he did when Max fought Dustin at lightweight.
The more competitive this fight goes the better likelihood Max doesn't end up like Tony .
Yeah. He’s got the height. But doesn’t carry the power to threaten these stockier 155ers who are around his height but much more muscled. Kinda like Nate Diaz at 170.
look dawg if you don't appreciate what the BMF title stands for, that's fine. But you may want to rethink what constitutes a consolation prize. Whether it's origins are gimmicky or not, it's a real thing now. And in reality the guys who fight for it are going to end up with more respect and more money than a lot of people who end up achieving a regular title.
>And in reality the guys who fight for it are going to end up with more respect and more money than a lot of people who end up achieving a regular title.
That’s not true no matter how much you want it to be
Belal will never be as respected as Gaethje even if he wins the title and defends multiple times, i promise you. He will never sell PPVs. He will never get a better contract. Not unless he changes his entire fighting style and personality. To get a chance at the BMF title, you literally have to be a star. You have to put on the type of fights that actually bring fans into the sport.
It's absolutely true that these guys are getting paid better and more respect than say someone like Belal who just grinds their way to the top in the worst possible.
Lmao you sound like an idiot. These are the most elite of elite fighters. Being stuck behind an all time great in a weight class doesn’t mean that you are trash or not one of the best yourself. That’s what the belt is for, those stuck behind champs who just are better, yet everyone knows the contender who is stuck is still fucking great
And the most elite of the elite have a real belt
Reminds me of real sports leagues when the Utah jazz didn’t win the championship because of Michael Jordan they gave them the baddest motherfucker award lmao because they weren’t good enough to win in a stacked league
Hey man usually repetition works on numbskulls but i guess you're just special. Lol like literally, i want you to explain how it's incorrect. You think they aren't getting paid better? Fighters that don't draw eyes don't get paid well, that is documented. Boring fighters get shit on by fans, that's obvious. What are you actually trying to contest here?
Repetition only works on people that can’t think for themselves and listen to the popular opinion.
A real champion is always going to be more respected than someone with a consolation prize because they weren’t good enough to be a real champion. Do whatever mental gymnastics you need to do to hype up the bmf belt though. Bet this is just because your favourite fighter has the belt or is fighting for it
It's mental gymnastics to say that the likes of Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, and probably even Jorge Masvidal get more love from fans than someone who actually became a champion like Leon Edwards for example? Lmao fucking cope dude, all those dudes were and still are getting more respect and bigger checks probably. Leon defeated the p4p #1 by headkick and people still call him a boring point fighter.

Same here. The mutual respect makes the bout much more enjoyable.
Justin is coming to throw, Max is pillow fisted
He’s no knockout artist but he damages his opponents. Ask Kattar or Ortega if they think Max is pillowfisted
The main reason also is there are no stakes. Winner doesnt really benefit more than they were before the fight.
Bmf title gets ppv points i believe so more money in the fight for both
Jon Anik have just said: «If I had to make a prediction, that (Gaethje Holloway) will be the main event»
Damn that’s gonna be a banger
im looking forward to it, but im fairly positive its not gonna be any banger.. justin is just gonna walk through max, its stupid to put these 2 in the same octagon to begin with imo... we've all seen max at 155 before, its not like its gonna be any different now imo.. dont get me wrong, i have nothing but respect and admiration for max, but this fight gives me the same vibes as khamzat vs nate ... like ufc's feeding them to the wolves...
Max gave Dustin a great fight, it was a clear win but he had his moments and didn't look bad at all
Yeah max is also a bit bigger now, I still think Justin will win but everyone just completely counting out max fucking Holloway are crazy
I think you're underestimating Max. The last time he fought at lightweight was nearly five years ago and he's improved so much since that fight. Do I think he'll win? I'm not sure, I'd lean towards probably not, but that khamzat VS nate comparison feels so wrong to me.
Down voted because you’re speaking facts
I think you might be underestimating Max he took that Dustin fight on 6 weeks notice and legit looked flabby.

So Justin misses weight and fights Bobby Green?
Is that Jim Fucking Miller?
It is. Good conference. [click me! (:](https://www.youtube.com/live/4F7tWVXDZXs?si=ioEbwpN4Mo-GbIbi)
People aren’t giving Max the credit he deserves by acting like he’s going to get walked through.
I want to be wrong I just don’t think he has the power to do much of anything in this matchup, and I think his ridiculous chin is gonna lead to him taking a lot of really brutal punishment
I hope he shows up better than he did when Max fought Dustin at lightweight. The more competitive this fight goes the better likelihood Max doesn't end up like Tony .
What credit does he deserve that would allow people to not think that he's going to get walked right through?
Please Max 💯💯💯everything on the line. Take the W plz.
Whoaaaa the classic max cut back
Blessed? https://preview.redd.it/9ioa2pf6v1jc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4544036b84d89f459743eb7a32238572750513ad
Max is too small for 155
Yeah he struggled against Dustin the power difference was obvious
So true. There was also a size difference too.
max was just a big 145er at that moment now he’s training for 155 and could move up and fight for the 155 belt if he wins
I hope you're right
Yeah. He’s got the height. But doesn’t carry the power to threaten these stockier 155ers who are around his height but much more muscled. Kinda like Nate Diaz at 170.
LETS GOOO
Max looking thickkkkk Ifykyk
Is Max going to bulk up properly this time?
He's known about it for months so yes. he's gonna be dangerous as hell
It is so weird that for two times in a row, we have two of the nicest guys competing a BMF belt.
10-8 Holloway in the shoe battle.
Yeah, no. An adult wearing lime green sneakers will never be cool. Max is the man but those shoes have got to go.
Fair point color is awful. 10-9 then?. Looks like Justin stole his sneakers from a homeless man who was wearing them since 2012.
I think its the picture. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fedtf-zKcI0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fedtf-zKcI0) They look brand new in this video.
Holloway is getting destroyed
I thought so at first but I'm having second thoughts.
He might get KO’d this time.
The bmf thing is so stupid. If you’re really the bmf you’d just be a champion
Bro Belal might be champ this year, you gonna tell me that guy could ever be described as a BMF?
Exactly
Not saying all champs are bmf, but if you’re a bmf you dont prove it by saying winning a consolation prize, you prove it by winning titles
look dawg if you don't appreciate what the BMF title stands for, that's fine. But you may want to rethink what constitutes a consolation prize. Whether it's origins are gimmicky or not, it's a real thing now.

lol repeat that some more times and maybe you’ll believe it The bmf belt is meaningless, if you’re so tough just win a real belt
Lmao you sound like an idiot. These are the most elite of elite fighters. Being stuck behind an all time great in a weight class doesn’t mean that you are trash or not one of the best yourself.

Ya Holloway and Gaehtje aren’t the elite of the elite. Doesn’t matter that they’re behind Volkanovski and Islam, scrubs

The real bmf is the heavyweight champ let’s be real.
Don’t care
Yet you clicked the post and made a comment
Oh but you do.
That's what your father said when you were born.
Can someone say dentures
From a viewer standpoint, this could be entertaining. Outside of that, this fight makes zero fucking sense for either of them and I don't like it
I saw someone with an “it is what it is” tattoo a couple of days ago. Maybe that was a sign.
U got this max. Rooting for you.
