Jones, Emmett, prime Nick Diaz, prime Gus, prime Frankie, prime Mark Hunt, prime Roy Nelson, Anthony "Rumble" Jonhson (RIP✝️), stephan Bonnard (RIP✝️), Prime Chris Leben, prime Fedor, prime Miguel Torres, prime Diego Sanchez, prime Spencer Fisher, ptime Gilbert Melendez, prime RDA, prime Chandler, Wonderboy, Luque, Perry, prime Chris Weidman , prime Igor Vochanchyn, have Amazing chin too!!!

You're right, for the most part dustin poirier simply had more weight and just pummeled max.. but the technique difference was definitely there and max got better after this fight and his and his first L to Alex. I still got justin gaethje knocking max out but it's not because of the size as they're both actually the same size. But rather because justin gaethje will keep going forever with his jabs, lead hook, overhand right and uppercut setups, leg kick, shift stance (which he does better than poirier imo), knees, elbows, justin has it all. Not to mention you could hit that guy with a brick and he'll keep going. I feel bad max keeps getting matched up with beasts at 155, rather would see him fight Charles Oliveira.

100% agreed. For me Dustin stole the second round in the last 2 minutes because he was not winning that, he stole the fourth by opening Max's face with a knee and the fifth I'm not even sure why they gave it to Dustin. All in all a a very even fight with the power clearly on Dustin's side. I feel Dustin finished well in all the rounds and that made the difference really.

@@theotadros2040 At the end of the day fighting is scored on damage which I think is why Dustin was able to swing rounds. Not that Max didn’t hurt him but Dustin landed the biggest shots

This is why we get "robberies", it was not very close, it was very competitive, Max's chin and cardio are other-worldly, but Dustin beat the shit out of Max. The power difference was not close, one of Dustin's punches was the equivalent to ten or twenty of Max's, evidenced by Max's reaction and the horrific damage to his face. There is a major problem with people's perception of fights and this fight is a perfect example, when a fighter has an extremely dominant round judges and spectators will often absolutely gift the next or future rounds to their opponent simply because it wasn't as dominant. Rigging is commonplace, this way of thinking/scoring makes it that much easier. Make no mistake, one round scored incorrectly is RIGGING, if this fight was "close' then it was rigged.

100%. That darce that Holloway got on Poirier at the end of round 4 was in deep, and poirier was tired AF. If Max had 5 more seconds he woulda been double champ.

Ok but did the comments only watched the first two rounds ? Poirier had to grapple in the end to keep up. If you don’t think Holloway has got a chance against Justin you’re really underestimating him. Especially considering he didn’t do a proper transition to 155 at that point and he’s improved a lot since then

This fight was a lot closer than people thought. You could maybe even argue that Holloway took the last three rounds depending on how you scored the third. I had it for Poirier by one round, though

@bbguy17 Ай бұрын

If it wasn’t for how devastating Dustin’s counters were, I think Max would have won. 2 and 4 he was winning before some big shots near the end of 2 and the knee from round 4 swayed the judges

@dranreb1118 Ай бұрын

Damage and significance were all on the side of Poirier. The judges got it right. It's the "count vs damage" argument in the early days, where guys would try to edge out rounds with TDs or jabs and leg kicks. Nowadays, it's clear that damage should be more significant.

9:20 Many people thought Max was close to getting dropped for the first time in his career here. But actually 🤓 if you pay close attention you can see that Max just misjudged how close the octagon wall was to his back. He thought he was gonna rebound off the cage but started squatting down. His chin is truly legendary (while it lasts)
