Max Holloway spoke to me at the UFC 223 media day about his weight cut, the key to beating Khabib Nurmagomedov, what he thinks of people who criticize his takedown defense and more.
The Luke Thomas Show airs weekdays, 3 to 6pm ET, on SiriusXM RUSH, channel 93.

My Hairline's like Max's now.. not fun anymore

I am a huge Max fan but he will be taken down at will. Luke Thomasiljo won't stop pushing the whole Max takedown defense thing. Luke he is going to be taken down easily if he even makes weight. Max made a bad career choice taking this fight why can't people understand that? Khabib on very short notice is not a good decision by anyone even the featherweight champ of the world. I feel like Max only took the fight because he knew Ortega would have taken it if he didn't.
I wasn't even meant to be here? Even my dad said i was a mistake.
You're so weird. No one has said Holloway has bad takedown defense. It's just not good enough for a guy the level of Khabib and on 6 days notice. The only high-level wrestler he's faced over his win streak is Lamas. And Lamas just brawled with him and is a basic wrestler.
BLESSED ERA
If Khabib and Connor was in the UFC by the time they were 21 I think they'll have some loses. The Connor train probably wouldn't a happen
Typical lame answers tbh.
Max is dope I hope he sleeps kabib
