That's his division when McGregor leaves for good
I think ur right op. Totally agree
I disagree whole heartedly. Frankie actually moves. And would dominate the wrestling.
His take down defense is fuckin sick and keeps getting better!
I think he fucks anybody up at 145.
Not convinced it wouldn't be his division even if McGregor stayed. Max has rapidly become one of my favourite fighters the past couple of years, he's a fucking warrior. He's come a hell of a long way since the loss to Conor, I wouldn't like to call who wins that fight now
He would school him no prob
kennyfrommd - I disagree whole heartedly. Frankie actually moves. And would dominate the wrestling.The wrestling? Did you just see how good Max' TDD is? I know Frankies a hell of a wrestler, but there's a chance Holloways TDD nullifies it completely. Would be interesting
Frankie would clown him sorry.
A lot of people have slept on Frankie a lot of times in a lot of fights.
He's no joke.
No.no no. Silly
His conditioning and output waned considerably in that last round. I don't think he'd beat Frankie
Max would finish Frankie. His fight IQ and physical ability would be too much for Edgar.
I'm not so sure about that.
Max all day!
Dreville79 -Frankie's style is completely different. No solo open mat shots that aren't set up with combinations. Beautiful work switching off to plan b and plan c when his opponent defends takedowns. Watch Frankie penn 2. Puts him on the fence with a single, penn will defend with a whizzer, Frankie runs the pipe, penn stays up, Frankie doubles off. He moves too much and doesn't run himself into a wall like Lamas was doing where he just grabs the legs and waist and continues to drive.kennyfrommd - I disagree whole heartedly.

Max is a stud for sure, but Frankie is a different tier of competitor than he has faced IMO. His strength fighting in the pocket, making people miss and firing back won't work against someone that doesn't stop moving their feet like Edgar. It's a bad match up for him stylistically I think.
I'd be much more interested in how Holloway Mendes would turn out

But seriously, for sure Frankie is a step up, I've thought for a long time Holloway is gonna be the long term future of the division though, he's one of a new breed and his fight IQ is off the scale. I think he keeps winning until he gets the belt from here on.
Huge Holloway fan but that's crazy talk my man. Frankie would break Max
max is only 24. statistically fighters peak at 30. hes going to be the top dog eventually.
