Media Ilia Topuria Says "Its Clear To Me Max Holloway Is NEXT" After UFC 300 - Who You Guys Got?

[Black9]

Looks like this fight is set in stone, they both want it.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

After tonight, as long as he doesn't have RJJ moment dropping muscle and weight, Max will TKO Ilia in the 4 or 5th.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Max should just defend the BMF belt against whoever. I think he looked better not cutting the weight.

He kind of holds the cards right now tbh. I mean what does winning the fw belt again really do for him anyways? He's already legend status and I don't think he needs that belt anymore after tonight.

Maybe wait and see how Dustin/Islam plays out. If Dustin somehow wins that fight a Holloway rematch would be a really big fight, bigger than Ilia.

 

[Wreckless]

Man look terrorized there in the crowd after that finish.

 

[World eater]

Rooting for Max, but I already picked Volk against Topuria and learnt my lesson. That guy is dangerous and will probably be a betting favourite. Still, floral shorts Max has the best chance at the moment.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Let’s go Topuria

Shut these haters up

 

[MUSTANG!]

Glad he stopped all his BS, Topuria is very skilled but I Know 90% of people will be cheering for the People’s champ Max “it is what it is” “BMF” Holloway

 

[KoreanZawmbie]

It'll be a great fight.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Max all the way

 

[Substance Abuse]

Holloway was very kind to Topuria in the post fight on the ESPN+ Post Fight Show when Okamoto kept trying to bait him into giving Ilia shit about how he looked after the KO. Max said he didn't know him or what type of person he is, so he's got no idea about how he felt about the KO regardless of how he looked. Good guy Max.

 

[GreenGorilla]

Holloways Back kick could be a good weapon vs Toppuria. Max has insane timing on that thing and if he times it correct with a shoot, might even get a knockdown/KO with it.

I was worried for Max in this one but he shocked me with his performance. Looked amazing out there.

 

[TheGreatA]

Will Halloway be the same at 145 after bulking up for 155?

I feel like yoyoing in weight will ruin his momentum.

Topuria has a good ground game and BJJ, it's going to be a hard fight. Both can land bombs too.

 

[modulus]

Gives Max a chance to regain a belt that actually means something

 

[fortheo]

The weight cut back to FW is going to be horrendous for max. He always struggled even when he was younger and not trying to fill out for LW.

 

[Fact Checker]

Topuria is too fast for Max. I think he cracks Max chin too.

 

[DrRodentia]

Well I don't know now...

Certainly rather him take his chances against Topuria than Islam, though. Islam ragdolls him.

 

[Pictureonthewall]

Max because someone here said Topuria looked shook.

Rooting for Max, but I already picked Volk against Topuria and learnt my lesson. That guy is dangerous and will probably be a betting favourite. Still, floral shorts Max has the best chance at the moment.

I just don't see how Top can hurt Max, even Gathje had a hard time and he has more power than Top by far.

Max will work Ilia over 5 rounds, it will look similar to the Kattar fight imho.

Max is all class, unlike Ilia.

Go Max!!!
