it's about 1200 fighters too. i guess they've not gone to court yet so wait and see but that at least seems like good news.

This is Bobby knuckles erasure and I won't stand for it

i like whittaker a lot but i'm not really that invested in his career anymore. he already won the belt and defended it. destroyed a bunch of middleweights on the way up. he's the only guy to fight romero toe to toe for ten rounds as a former welterweight and come out of it a winner. etc. and so forth. with him it's just house money at this point, he's already made it.

i'm not unhappy about that if it's true. i think he could beat gaethje (and if his chin is still there i think he's likely to) but i think it would cost him whatever longevity he still has left, for the sake of a stupid bullshit belt. he should fight topuria instead.

I think gaethje would ruin him.

yeah that's tragically likely given that gaethje seems much happier to just fight behind his jab now instead of exhausting himself throwing bombs, but i also think lightweight's kinda weirdly overrated now, and i think max's volume approach with straight punches could really gently caress gaethje up if he gets to do it for five rounds without getting knocked out. for someone who loves brawling, gaethje's weirdly uncomfortable in these in-between situations where they're resetting distance or disengaging from the clinch. i also don't think max can get him down but i think he's smart enough to know that gaethje does exhaust himself defending takedowns and grappling, and has basically been incapable of making people pay for trying to grapple him throughout his whole career. he just wants to reset and get back to striking.

i think i'm just talking myself into it but idk, i got max in that fight.
