Well deserved.


Got a feeling he's going to go on a tear the next couple years....

 

[liljuey]

Max vs Fiziev would be good for the fans, but I know he wants title fights. With that being said, he should be above Fiziev as well.

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

He should be fighting for belts... Including potentially the McGregor Chandler winner for the bmf belt

 

[Soggust]

He's the #2 FW, beats the #2 LW and is now...... the #9 LW????

That's retarded, right?

 

[blaseblase]

How do you beat the number 2 guy in dominant fashion and only get to 9? Gaethje is above him? Lol. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

 

[muaytao]

Should be higher on the p4p too

 

[DoctorStoppage]

why only 9…

 

[Question]

He just beat the number two/three guy, but is multiple slots below him? What?

Yeah it's pretty silly. I think some of the rankings panel people might be questioning if Max even has a future in the division, so they probably don't want him clogging up a top 5 spot if he has no intention of fighting in the division again any time soon.

I'd put him either at #1 or #2 though personally.

 

[blaseblase]

It's bizarre. Does anyone believe Chandler or Dariush would be favored against Max?

 

[Captain Insano]

wtf?

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

Don't worry, they'll bump his rank up once his next fight gets announced to build hype.

Ufc rankings are a bit of a joke

 

[Krixes]

He just outclassed and knocked Justin dead. He should be #1 or #2.

 

[blaseblase]

By contrast when Pereira debuted at 205 and beat Blachowicz he immediately got thrown into the top 5.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

John Morgan is the fat dude who always asks Dana the first question at the press conference. He’s a shill and his rankings are meaningless.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

He beat the #1 guy so now he’s ranked #9? How the fuck does that work?

 

[SuperAlly]

Surely you have to have Max higher or Gaethje lower

Harsh on Gaethje, but is what it is

Should have just slotted Max in above where Gaethje is now

 

[Wreckless]

John Morgan with the "Max Holloway is a massive winner in the latest rankings".

What a clown.

Kayla in her first UFC fight ever beat Holy Holm who was ranked #5....wonder where they will put her???
