Going to be crazy to see Max become the champ champ off of two vacant titles.

You fucking have to be shitting me.
This is the fight that just CAN'T ever fucking happen.
I've been looking forward to it more than any fight in such a long time.
This sucks.

Crushing news. I don't know how you give up ten lbs to the best wrestler in the best division and still win. I saw early odds had Khabib at a -500 favorite. That seems about right. He was a -270 fav against Tony, which surprised me. I would have thought more like -180.

Max is showing a lot of balls stepping up, but it's pretty hard to see how he wins this one.
I know it was a long time ago, but Conor was able to hold him down with a bum knee. I know he has improved, but no camp against Khabib?
I can't see it lasting three rounds.

So I was really doubting Max due to difference in size, however im reading a lot of info that claims Max walks around at 170-190lbs. If that's the case, then there may not be a difference in size.

I see him getting ragdolled but earning respect for stepping up but what a story it'd be if Max won. IMO way better for the UFC and a return fight for Conor. Great build up and even a possible event in Hawaii

Some MMa journalist on Twitter was saying Max will likely walk into the ring around 175-178. Are we going to have three LW champs? Conor with the original belt. Tony with the interim. Winner of this with another interim title?

And Matt Sera walks around at 230. What's your point? But seriously, while Max is a big '45er, Khabib is a big '55er. There's no way Max doesn't give up some size in this fight. And giving up size to one of the best MMA wrestlers on the planet is not normally a recipe for success. Still, I'm getting the fellas together and buying this PPV. While this isn't nearly as interesting as Tony/Khabib, it's still interesting. And Rose/Joanna is interesting as well. I don't plan ahead for many PPVs these days, but this one is on my calendar.

I can't say I'm surprised this fight isn't happening.
I'll have to check my betting site. I'm not a fan of Khabib, so I might throw some on Max

I mean, Ortega would’ve made more sense than Max, but whatever.
I’m sure the UFC is trying to draw Conor out.

Who gives a shit if belts are “tied up” fighters accomplishing their full potential should not be discouraged. They should not be forced to “settle”. Now, they should have some sort of time frame to defend each belt as well, but it’s not hard to strip them if they cannot defend in a certain amount of time.

'Slapped around' is a bit of a stretch. Whatever Hammer Lobov. It’s true, you know. That was more of a “pat on the back” with his entire crew standing behind him... I am anything but a fan of Artem, but this video is not the slightest bit impressive .
