*Edit* This fight is back on, so I'm bumping this thread.
Yes I know that Max has improved immeasurably, but that doesn't changed the fact that the last Div I wrestler he faced took him down four times and won a closely contested fight. It's also worth noting that Dennis Bermudez is similar in size to Edgar (with even shorter reach) and he still closed the distance and got Max down and cut him up with gnp —but yes, Max has improved, but at the same time, Bermudez is no Frankie Edgar.
Also, Conor and Andre fili took Max down multiple times as well after that bermudez fight.
Summary: I'm not convinced that Max has improved his TDD enough yet to stop someone like Edgar.
