I think the best chin in ufc is Vettori or Max. I still think for Vettori because he fought the heaviest hitters at 185. He eat bombs from Costa and Cannonier like nothing 😯 Max chin is insane for sure but get wobbled few times and even knockdown'ed against Poirier in the second fight. Jones, Emmett, prime Nick Diaz, prime Gus, prime Frankie, prime Mark Hunt, prime Roy Nelson, Anthony "Rumble" Jonhson (RIP✝️), stephan Bonnard (RIP✝️), Prime Chris Leben, prime Fedor, prime Miguel Torres, prime Diego Sanchez, prime Spencer Fisher, ptime Gilbert Melendez, prime RDA, prime Chandler, Wonderboy, Luque, Perry, prime Chris Weidman , prime Igor Vochanchyn, have Amazing chin too!!!
Man one of the best fights i've watched in recent years. Huge respect for both these guys.
The fistbump after round two was awesome. At this level of dedication, two fighters understand each other so well. They communicated their training with each second, and at the end of the battle it was respect that prevailed

Meanwhile Max was getting rocked, cut open, saved by the cage, I mean just because you're a fan of the guy doesn't mean you can't admit he got destroyed.

1:54 tell me is that a power or a skill issue? You're right, for the most part dustin poirier simply had more weight and just pummeled max.. but the technique difference was definitely there and max got better after this fight and his and his first L to Alex. I still got justin gaethje knocking max out but it's not because of the size as they're both actually the same size. But rather because justin gaethje will keep going forever with his jabs, lead hook, overhand right and uppercut setups, leg kick, shift stance (which he does better than poirier imo), knees, elbows, justin has it all. Not to mention you could hit that guy with a brick and he'll keep going. I feel bad max keeps getting matched up with beasts at 155, rather would see him fight Charles Oliveira.

This fight is much closer than given credit for. Holloway grew into the fight and got used to the timing of Dustin’s punches where they weren’t quite as devastating after the first 2 rounds. But Poiriers counters were so so sharp and he had the bigger moments even though I’d argue Max actually dictated the pace for large stretches of the fight and managed to stun Dustin a few times as well.

This is why we get "robberies", it was not very close, it was very competitive, Max's chin and cardio are other-worldly, but Dustin beat the shit out of Max. The power difference was not close, one of Dustin's punches was the equivalent to ten or twenty of Max's, evidenced by Max's reaction and the horrific damage to his face. There is a major problem with people's perception of fights and this fight is a perfect example, when a fighter has an extremely dominant round judges and spectators will often absolutely gift the next or future rounds to their opponent simply because it wasn't as dominant. Rigging is commonplace, this way of thinking/scoring makes it that much easier. Make no mistake, one round scored incorrectly is RIGGING, if this fight was "close' then it was rigged.

The 💎! What a legendary performance
Talent on both sides. Great fight. The graphics remind me of UFC's time when they tried to make everything look like a video game. It's so much more professional now.
Ok but did the comments only watched the first two rounds ? Poirier had to grapple in the end to keep up. If you don’t think Holloway has got a chance against Justin you’re really underestimating him. Especially considering he didn’t do a proper transition to 155 at that point and he’s improved a lot since then
I want a cut of Max taking that right hook vs BSD taking that right hook
This was best card Poirier vs Max and gastelum vs Izzy what a war they fought on this card 🎉

Agreed, the main and co-main were both outstanding, I've watched both multiple times over the years. Brilliant scraps, the both of them.
22:15 the commentators went silent for a solid half minute..perfection needs no description
That 2019 ufc cage felt right. P3 and bdubs logo was a fun time lol

Most underrated Fight in UFC man !
That was a heck of a fight, from beginning to the end
Max Chin is unreal...
"oh he's spraying blood now" gotta love DC
i like how they talked aboutdustin the entire fight without bringing up holloways strikes once xD
BOTH THESE GUYS ARE EPIC !!
This fight was a lot closer than people thought. You could maybe even argue that Holloway took the last three rounds depending on how you scored the third. I had it for Poirier by one round, though

If it wasn’t for how devastating Dustin’s counters were, I think Max would have won. 2 and 4 he was winning before some big shots near the end of 2 and the knee from round 4 swayed the judges

Damage and significance were all on the side of Poirier. The judges got it right. It's the "count vs damage" argument in the early days, where guys would try to edge out rounds with TDs or jabs and leg kicks. Nowadays, it's clear that damage should be more significant.
My favourite UFC fight, my 2 favourite mma fighters.
Big respect
This is one of my favorites now!
holloway did good he just lacked power if they were same weight poirier could have been in trouble in most of those exchanges plus the confidence you get when you know your opponent cannot knock you out is massive advantage
Max' boxing is insanely good

@@terrycruise-zd5tw yea snake paul is the greatest boxer of all time. Only a matter of time when he’s becoming champ. He easily beats canelo, bivol etc. He’s also the best MMA fighter of all time. He would easily murder Jon Jones inside that cage with a devastating spinning hook kick and a flying armbar both simultaneously

@nameless-ln8vf his defensive boxing isn’t the best yes. His offensive boxing is insane
The chins on these dudes is incredible. Im so happy these are the vets that represent my generation
I saw this one live. And the craziest thing is that as awesome as a fight this was, it was the 2nd best fight that night: Adesanya vs. Gastelum was the Co-main event and was absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ahh you’re showing how strong Max’s chin by uploading this! Either way i love this fight, it’s one of the greatest lightweight fights ever
ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTS EVER
2nd time watching this fight. Crazy good man. Two of the UFC elites. Fight Club missed out on these boys !!
Great fight by both guys this was very entertaining
Dustin is one of the best fighters who has never held a title.
Damn im actually really confident that Holloway wins against Gaethje now cause this wasnt a proper LW Max this was Max coming in on short notice as a fat featherweight
Picture perfect sportsmanship from these two. Max respect.
Two supreme fighters, the respect shown by both fighters was a tribute.
Legendary fight can’t wait to see Justin vs max
Still a closer fight than many seem to remember

I don’t understand it bro. Max was in this fight
How they cut the stand up for round 5 has me stuffed I waited with anticipation for it the whole fight hahahaha
ah damn they edited out the iconic Max line: "he blocks weird" lol
14:27 Level change it is.
I love the fight, 2 best fighters 💪
9:20 Many people thought Max was close to getting dropped for the first time in his career here. But actually 🤓 if you pay close attention you can see that Max just misjudged how close the octagon wall was to his back. He thought he was gonna rebound off the cage but started squatting down. His chin is truly legendary (while it lasts)
Those first three rounds tho 🤘💣 looking forward to Halloway vs gaethje
I know Dustin is cool again and all so everyone is on his sack, but Max was in this fight. Super competitive.
