I wish this was for the Interim belt instead of Emmet vs Rodriguez, I think this fight make more sense for the 2nd best in the division then Emmet vs Rodriguez

You are corect, I just wish they had no interim title fight or just put Allen in the interim title fight, He won 10 fight in a row and if he beats Holloway, He be 11-0 in the UFC and off a win over one of the best fighter of all time,  I think it just ******** to give a title fight to Yair or Emmet, If Allen wins this fights

I think Yair and Emmet are fighting for 4th place in the division

I think wasn't rdy yet because he got injured and he had to recover
Also let me remind you that Holloway didn't look THAT impressive vs Yair Rodriguez

My usual useless facts but Max Holloway has absorbed the most head strikes out of any fighter in the UFC, I believe.

He's absorbed the most by a significant margin. The amount of abuse he's taken is crazy, I hope he retires soon

His chin is sadly gonna get cracked soon, but Arnold "Average" Allen is not that guy. He'll break his pillow fists on Max's head before knocking him out. I do worry for Max if they make him fight a Topuria type next, but Blessed is gonna school this Brit

Maybe if Max was fourty I'd be scared for him, he is just 30 or some sh*t like that, no time for bulking up? No worries Max is gonna keep everyone out of Volkanovski for years to come

He took a lot of damage in the 3rd Volk fight for sure

The fight with Dustin I remember the sounds of the punches landing and it was sickening, he's got incredible endurance but yeah I'm not talking about his chin getting cracked or anything but just interesting considering how young he is in he sport still (age wise.).

I missed the fight with kattar and allen but no knockdowns and a knee injury does not impress I will go back when I have time because I like both guys.

Max takes 100+ stikes in 7 of his last 8 fights, And even Still Frankie landed 96 stikes, On average takes 146 stikes per fight since the Ortega fight, I don't think that good for the brain, Even if some of the 146 stikes are body stikes or leg kick

it's possible that Max is shot, I have seen fighter shot by 30, But It's usually when they're started young because it more about miles then age, Rory McDonald be my example, But being done at 30 is so rare and Max is 31, If Max was 33 or 34, I might jump on the Max is done train more, I just think it more Volk being the best stiker in mma history Imo

Even if you exclude other recent fights, I feel like that last fight with Volk is really going to take its toll. Never seen Max that busted up after a fight.
Just doesn't make sense to me that he can return to full form, health-wise, after so many wars.

Max has taken a lot of strikes but I don't think he has taken a lot of fight ending or career altering ones, Volk 3 volume and Dustin 2 power and volume.
But when it cracks it will be like TonyFerg, Chuck Liddel, Scampage Jackoffson Wandy it never goes back.

I had no idea Allan is 10-0 in UFC already, damn. Don't know if anyone brought this up before, but what if Islam beats Volk, Allen beats Max and Islam beats Allan after? He'll have 3 fights in a row where he's fighting opponents while they are being 10+ wins in a row in UFC. I could see this happen actually.

I can’t. Allen ain’t never gonna fight Islam lmao, it’s not gonna happen. Even if he somehow became champ after beating a wounded Volk (which isn’t gonna happen), Allen ain’t gonna go for champ champ status. And if he does it wouldn’t be for a long ass time (aka a few defenses, which also would never happen). Tbh most of these win streaks are about to get snapped. The only ones I see staying in tact are Islams and Shevchenkos
