Max is one of those rare fighters that are able to remain in their prime for a solid decade. Every time he fights he looks better, and he only fights savages. Belt or no belt he’s always dominating, Volk was his only kryptonite. What a career and he’s still young and never been knocked out.

There was so much on the line at UFC 300 in LW division. With Charles fighting and his loss and then Gaethje vs Max had big implications in the LW division as well . Max definitely proved he could be next for title at LW division No to mention his OG WEIGHT CLASS FW DIVISION. Dustin Poierir was definitely one of the winners that nite and he didn’t even fight on UFC300 Dustin getting another title shot and most likely his last chance at LW title will be very interesting
Show me your opinions, whether similar or different.... UFC 300 saw the Best KO in *UFC History* , all things considered, hands down. Here's my list: 1) Holloway vs Gaethje (Up a weightclass, against the heaviest hitter, called for it last-second) 2) Congo vs. Barry (knocked out to KO in a couple seconds) 3) Crocop vs. Gonzaga ("Right kick, hospital. Left kick cemeta--WHAT?!") 4) Silva vs. Weidman (The most improbable) 5) Aldo vs. Mcgregor (Absolutely jaw-dropping surprise after uncharacteristic start) 6) TKZ vs. Rodriguez (Surprise elbow, last second) 7) Shogun vs. Machida (Standing KO vs. the Undefeated Karate Master) 8) Miocic vs. Cormier (Smaller wrestler/LHW champ KO's the UFC's most accomplished HW champ) 9) Etim vs. Barboza (most beautiful kick landed on a taller fighter who'd never been KO'd) 11) Uno vs. Penn (Championship-level fight, fighter gets obliterated by flying knee & punches) 11) Hendo vs. Bisping (Possibly most devastating KO to iron-chin)
