I agree that he might have a few years of elite performance. I think he is slightly slipping though. I still think he is right there at the top. It just might mean that his fights are closer, he takes more damage or he eventually gets beat by someone who he would beat at his very best. I think Gaethje wins but I can see a path to victory for Max. It's a high risk fight for Max. It's why I love him even though I don't agree with the career move.Max is too tough for his own good. I am a big fan and I still think he has some years of elite performance at FW, but man is this a bad move to go up to LW to face Gaethje. Even if he wins, that top 5 of LW is a gauntlet and if he gets to a TS, he will have his hands full with Makhachev.
