Why is he a bum?

I would take Max, Ilia relies on his power to make up for any deficit he has but Max has a legendary chin and would be much better staying on the outside (size advantage) and winning a decision.

Ilia Topuria better overall fighter imo

How so?

Imo his ground game is better than Max

Where do all fights start?

Where do most fight end?

Okay bud. The fights start on the feet, topuria won't be able to take max down like that, max will finish him on the feet within 3

Yeah it’ll be a great fight Max will have a slightly advantage in striking (48% vs 46% ) but Topuria would take max down and either sub him or decision.

Negative, Mitchell caught him on the feet, max will finish him no problem.
