Max is more popular than anyone they could get there.
We don’t know what kind of draw he is. I think Pico has potential to be a big draw with the UFC behind him.
You did can just fuck right off with this blasphemy.
Max is Blessed and doesn’t deserve that shit.
He is NOT a Coker wastelander.
DJ was arguably the best fighter in the UFC when they traded him.
No he absolutely wasn’t.
Let me guess…Max wants it because Bellator does events in Hawaii
He was in the PFP discussion. One split decision loss to Henry Cejudo in 7 years. Won 13 fights in a row over that time.
That’s part of it. I also think Max potentially could make more money in Bellator with opportunities he would have.
Worked out pretty well for the UFC…launched Masvidal into stardom and sold a lot more PPVs than DJ would have
I agree.
Possibly…he should have went up to 155…if he sticks around 145 him vs Barboza moves my needle
Topuria and Evloev are interesting fights too.
Max vs Pitbull would be ️🔥
Max for Eblen or Amosov
Volk is right…Max is beating all his contenders…lol.
I guess you could do a different weightclass swap.
We all know how their last trade with giving away mighty mouse went. There is a reason fighters aren’t in the UFC, the best MMA organization in the world whether you like it or not.
Pico is absolutely not worth Max. He’s talented but finds a way to lose often. Very likely wouldn’t be top 5.
While also the least popular. The UFC got 3 big fights out of Askren and got a star in Masvidal out of the deal. Who could they get who would be worth giving up Max, the third best featherweight of all time and a fan favorite? He’s not PPV poison like DJ was and he’s only 31.
