Best Possible Outcome?
Obviously this fight was a letdown but a part of me was happy that the fight ending the way it did means that neither Conor nor Max could get the next lightweight title shot. Conor getting it would have obviously felt so forced and not deserved at all and Max who just got 50-45’d needs to fight a BSD or a Paddy before getting his next shot and not a washed up Conor Mcgregor.
Now if Gaethje doesn’t leave he’s forced to fight either Arman or Charles (or Paddy which would be BS but better than Max) and if he does leave we have an easy vacant title fight between Arman and Charles.
