I already gave you some good technical reasons why he’s ready.
Max is also taller, faster and rangier than Edgar.
If Max decides to switch stances make fight at a longer range then Edgar will need to take an extra step to get in on the hips and that’s ample time for a guy like Max to move. And doing so, he can get Edgar to switch to a single leg rather than a double leg.
The fact that Max was a few inches taller than Aldo gave Jose fits and Jose even mentioned it.
Like i said, he’s good at making people PLAY HIS GAME. Max understands what a wrestler is capable of at a young age you can clearly see him develop those skills albeit against non d1 caliber opponents but it’s there.
Edit: this is coming from a guy who has bet on Edgar in every UFC fight so far except here
