Held up, gave him the respect, still dominated the fight. Then took the moment to cut his interview short & call out anyone, while giving Dustin his flowers.
Masterclass on being the opponent for a hometown retirement fight. Twice now.
Dana needs to pay whatever fee that prevents the UFC from going to Hawaii. OR the state and their athletic commission need to let up for this one instance.
Plain & simple. We love your boy. The fans want the ufc to do right by him. A legend of the islands that just needs you to do your part.
If Max doesn't fight Ilia next, which it sounds like he very well may according to Dana, I really want Max vs Paddy next to finally beat the brakes off him. If Max does get the title shot, then it should be Arman vs Paddy & Oliveira va Gamrot in December. So either
Ilia vs Arman Max vs Paddy Oliveira vs Gamrot
OR
Ilia vs Max II Arman vs Paddy for title shot Oliveira vs Gamrot Gaethje vs Hooker
I hate to say it but I feel like Max like held back a little bit not wanting to end it that early out of respect for you cuz he could have ended him right then and there bro come on now we know that.. I love Dustin but come on bro there was like three or four or five different opportunities after he was on the ground he could have slapped em but he held bck
Whoever Max Holloway boxing coaches or striking coach and strength conditioner, really taking his skill to the next level he looks very different and his performance is very different
Max should’ve never went back down to 145. He should fight Ilia again at 155 if he works his way back up, he very well could still lose but I don’t think he’d get KO’d again.

Pulled punches but I respect it can't KO DP on his retirement fight. Still whooped him the whole fight and made him look retired.
He is still a Diamond, not Just his fists, but his Will power and most important, his huge heart 🫡💎💎
Both washed up for years
Disappointed in Poirier's performance – has been very inconsistent in his career.
Thats two drops. And dustin thought it was close

Max is savage at 155. He needs to stay there.
Max holloway 145 with heavyweight power
He actually dropped him twice
If you watch the fight it looked like Max let up on finishing Dustin

Grappling would have been the best option here for the finish but my boy max dont like it.

Max pissed me off, I should fight him…..👀
both are elite strikers 🔥
Con ilia recibió dos y a dormir
Max looks bigger. I think he's finally grown more into his frame now that he's older.
C'est Diaz le champion
What title fight? The BMF is not a real title, it Is a meaningless belt for children who believe in Santa Claus and the WWE.
shine bright💎
Max has been carrying significantly more power since the Zombie fight.
Max should’ve never went back down to 145. He should fight Ilia again at 155 if he works his way back up, he very well could still lose but I don’t think he’d get KO’d again.
My two favorite fighters. Man these guys are legends!!! Being alive during their ufc careers is a gift. These guys are a part of history.
