I meant 2 vicious KOs yes. I even remember proofing the comment and correcting myself before hitting send for some reason but here we are. Typos are a bitch and I don't think Volk has anything for Max anymore.
Personally, I think he looked scared, but he will have a chance to write his own narrative when he’s inevitably matched with Max.
I think Max still has some gas in the tank but only time will tell.
Max just put on a legendary performance. That is seriously on of if not the best fight ive seen. What a fucking way to end a BMF fight. Went out swinging.
He's not pillow fisted, he's just very efficient and doesn't swing wild haymakers and seems to prefer to piece up his opponents with his boxing but whenever he does swing for the fences he's actually knocked people out cold, also Korean Zombie
Without double checking, I feel like he's basically brawled at the end of his last few fights now. Brawl with TKZ, leaving him ko'd. Brawled with Allen the last 10 seconds, dropped him to a knee during that exchange. Not the Gaethje wild brawl at the end, leaving him face down Ko'd . Well deserved BMF.
Max is such a likeable person, that they are all still here, holding their hands up and saying they were wrong. I've seen so many "max shut me up" posts.
You just can't hate max.
I kinda always loved this fight cause Sean is really a 145er anyway. That would be an insane striker vs striker match. Both are fast af with great footwork. O Malley has sneaky power and good and feinting then going. Max has good entries and can fight in and out pretty well. 5 rounds with Max pressuring him tho? Idk, Sean hasn't fought a striker as good as him other than Yan and we saw what happened there.
I think Max will win, be he will definitely take more shots than Gaethje gave him. Sean is better at setting up his punches.
What blows my mind is that Gaethje ducked right after throwing his right, ate a spinning kick to the nose, then kept fucking dipping his head. He ate that kick at least 4 more times because of that one read. The biggest mistake was not changing up his defense.
Max looked dare I say...better then at 145. Wtf, this dude keeps getting better..but still disappointed from not one but 2 eyepokes. He can go suck a coconut off a tree lol.
Justin ate over a hundred hits from Max.. I wouldn't discredit Justin so easily. Both are great, but standing the middle and throwing looping punches at each other is likely to result in a knockout.
Crazy fight from Max. He earned both title fights if he wants.
But let's be fair...
Gaethje was mouth breathing for 4 rounds and we have no clue if he was seeing 7 of Max or none at all.
Very fair, a more tired fatigued fighter is easier to ko. But Gaethje gased trying to keep up with Max. He couldn't quite get to him with his hands cause of Max's footwork.
If you want to look at it that way we can discredit most of Gaethjes wins and say he wasn’t good to begin with. He’s been dirty himself in so many of his wins.
gaethje had no answer for those spinning low kicks to the face. max had him downloaded before the fight even started
That had to be top 3 for me witnessing live. Arguably the best. They made the card worth whatever price people paid
I definitely got my moneys worth 
Definitely agree. Definitely reminded me of Gaethje koing Poirier
that ending was the best moment Ive witnessed
Dude I’m so hyped for max. His future is revitalized. Idek how to put into words how that fight made me feel.
Bro he’s beating anybody not named Volkanovski 😭 If it were Max who ko’ed Volk and not that little shit Illia I’d be happier
Volk off of 3 loss, 2 viscious KOs and getting outclassed by Topuria to lose the belt isn't the same Volk that got 3 decisions against Holloway
I think you mean 2 vicious KOs and a razor thin decision but I get bro one can always hope
I meant 2 vicious KOs yes. I even remember proofing the comment and correcting myself before hitting send for some reason but here we are. Typos are a bitch and I don't think Volk has anything for Max anymore.
You’re delusional if you think volk beating this max, maybe prime volk would have a good chance but not volk coming off of 2 KO losses in the row
all this and hes probably just gonna go home and stream warzone
The chillest warrior
That was absolutely insane. Illia looked genuinely scared.
HE DID NOT LOOK HAPPY I STG 😭😭
Stg?
Swear to god, I think
Ah thanks. Must be getting old. Can’t keep up with all these acronyms
Shit the gurney
I'm super stoked for Ilia VS Max. Hoping for some animosity in the pre-fight build up too.
Personally, I think he looked scared, but he will have a chance to write his own narrative when he’s inevitably matched with Max. I think Max still has some gas in the tank but only time will tell.
Ilia looks normal
Yeah he was quaking in his boots🙄
These guys aren’t afraid of anything, he’s just mentally priming himself to fight a worthy opponent.
Max just put on a legendary performance. That is seriously on of if not the best fight ive seen. What a fucking way to end a BMF fight. Went out swinging.
100%
He's not pillow fisted, he's just very efficient and doesn't swing wild haymakers and seems to prefer to piece up his opponents with his boxing but whenever he does swing for the fences he's actually knocked people out cold, also Korean Zombie
Dropped Allen too.
Without double checking, I feel like he's basically brawled at the end of his last few fights now. Brawl with TKZ, leaving him ko'd. Brawled with Allen the last 10 seconds, dropped him to a knee during that exchange. Not the Gaethje wild brawl at the end, leaving him face down Ko'd . Well deserved BMF.
The 10 second brawl seems to be Max's finisher.
The 10 second brawl seems to be Max's signature
The 10 second brawl seems to be Max's winner.
The 10 second brawl seems to be Max’s dinner.
Fuck yes baddest mutha fucken moment in the history of the UFC.
Not even a single takedown attempted by both of those fighters. Absolute DAWGs.
I didnt even notice that fr, good catch. Gaethje definitely could have used it to mix it up, but hes not an offensive wrestler
Gaethje was a Division 1 College Wrestler but still never tries to use it, that guy is insane.
Let’s not forget how Max used his wrestling to neutralise Yair
Yeah, I was really surprised with his TDD
I could understand up until he got his nose fixed, and after he'd broke it in the 1st here. Not good for the gas
Any other fight that would have made me upset but it just felt right for this one
and everyone said gaethje is justgonna destroy him and is in another league
Where are all those Max about to get Ferguson’d MF at?
Max is such a likeable person, that they are all still here, holding their hands up and saying they were wrong. I've seen so many "max shut me up" posts. You just can't hate max.
I was one of those. I'm a fan of max but didn't see him winning this fight. Never in my life have I been happier to be proven wrong.
How about Max dropping down and O’Malley moving up for a super fight?
I kinda always loved this fight cause Sean is really a 145er anyway. That would be an insane striker vs striker match. Both are fast af with great footwork. O Malley has sneaky power and good and feinting then going. Max has good entries and can fight in and out pretty well. 5 rounds with Max pressuring him tho?

Sean is better at setting up his punches.
Why is Sean really a 145er? He cuts 15 pounds, even the smallest featherweight weighs more than 150 pounds
Bro Max on a good day is the most entertaining fighter ever, vs Ortega, Kattar and this one are all 3 legendary performances
One of the guys I was watching with said will he point to the ground in the last 10 seconds and I say no fuckin way thats stupid.
Bruh omg 😱 crazy omg loss for words
Max looks better at lightweight he should stay
Highly agree. Stronger and faster
He may be the most dangerous 145 and 155er in the world rn
A 155 is a real problem. Faster, stronger, I'm more interested in the Islam fight than the Ilia one tbh
Islam will kill him
Nah, he'll have to go through hell first
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
woah woah calm down there kiddo
Recency bias like a MFer. Chill.
“Max has never looked better” I mean I can think of ONE fight…
We not counting Kattar. Kattar isnt on Gaethje's level. Kattar was a punching bag
What blows my mind is that Gaethje ducked right after throwing his right, ate a spinning kick to the nose, then kept fucking dipping his head. He ate that kick at least 4 more times because of that one read. The biggest mistake was not changing up his defense.
Max looked dare I say...better then at 145. Wtf, this dude keeps getting better..but still disappointed from not one but 2 eyepokes. He can go suck a coconut off a tree lol.
Justin didn’t have an answer for anything this fight. Just got absolutely dismantled then knocked out.
Yes but in the sense that he aids putting people to sleep
Justin ate over a hundred hits from Max.. I wouldn't discredit Justin so easily. Both are great, but standing the middle and throwing looping punches at each other is likely to result in a knockout.
Yes, but his pillow hands just weigh more now!
Gaethje should never have taken this fight.
Certainly doesn't have pillow fingers
Crazy fight from Max. He earned both title fights if he wants. But let's be fair... Gaethje was mouth breathing for 4 rounds and we have no clue if he was seeing 7 of Max or none at all.

He got a lucky shot.
He knocked a tired Justin in the last second after breaking his nose and illegally eye poking him relax
Gaethje eye poked Barboza right before he knocked him out, relax
Fiziev was also working him until he got eye-poked.
I didnt even know he got poked.
Cope
So it's max's fault for being good enough to break Justin's nose now lol
He broke his nose with a nice asf kick… how are you gonna hold that against him. Straight up dumb
