@WalnutMMA You should respect a man who was told he might never walk again as a child, yet rose from the Favelas to become the UFC's all-time finish leader. Max showed heart by surviving, but Charles proved why he’s a living legend by dominating for 20 minutes.
@WalnutMMA Respect to Max for surviving, but 20 minutes of control and 4 sub attempts is a clear masterclass. Defensive wrestling alone doesn't win fights against the all-time finish leader's pressure. It's not about being a 'casual,' it's about recognizing absolute dominance."
@ArmGamb@ufc@CharlesDoBronxs@paramountplus Calling 4 sub attempts and outstriking Max Holloway with 75% accuracy a 'pussy game' is just pure cope. Charles wasn't just holding him; he was hunting for the finish for 20 minutes while Max was in survival mode. That's complete domination, not just a ground game.
@USCtrojan2205@cookinquack If Max Holloway had tried to get away while on the ground, Charles would have ended the match, but Max knew that if Charles tried to get up when he took him to the ground, he would have lost his neck and also Islam and Khamzat did the same thing.
@WalnutMMA Dude, Max Holloway was afraid of being submitted, so he couldn't get up while on the ground, and the match was spent mostly on the ground. Otherwise, the match would have ended with an R2 rare naked choke, but you can still insult Charles.
