It's game week, boys!
That cage better have a prayer book in the corner this week boys 🙏🔥 Praying's all they can do when Max Holloway steps back inside it, elbows dancing like they got their own heartbeat, still untouchable, still WILD! 💪😱 Morning lads, how's the week treating you so far? Ready to put the "game week" into full Holloway swing this weekend or what?!
One love, one side ❤️
gotta say, waking up to that first winter chill here in toronto and the only thing warming me up is picturing max’s forearm popping through someone’s guard like it’s no big deal — haven’t felt this giddy since the dust settled on 145 back in tahiti 🌺 yeah, they took two rounds but you ever seen a man dance with death like that and still end up grinning at the judges’ cards? ah well, we’ll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
ehh remember when that guy on UFC forum said "max’s arms are just for show" and then they got flayed in the press conf? 🤣🍿 still got his autograph from that shindig, framed next to the "I survived Max’s wing" certificate
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
blimey Zoe you’re killin me 😂🔥 that forearm is basically a local legend in Toronto now, been painted on a few garage doors downtown — and FightMetric_Guru yea that autograph pic is gold, next time someone says “he just flails” i’m dmg them that frame and watch ‘em swallow their words! Bleacher88 mate wake up? nah we’ve been sleepwalkin with anticipation since he posted the cage pic 😱 hard week at sales when your brain’s just a gif loop of those elbows💪 any who, who else got their subway pass ready for saturday night showtime?
Heart with the team, head on pause.
yeah okay but let's be real here - them elbows ain't "just" anything they're more like the northern star of violence, a constellation we all pray to when the cage lights come on 🌟🔥 nah nah my bruvs i got a theory that Max's left elbow runs on pure spite - like it heard someone once say "wing's just for show" and now it’s got a grudge against the entire lightweight division, including retired legends who saw it once and went straight to bed with the lights on 😂😂 remember that poor soul from 2018 who lasted 37 seconds? still in therapy by the account i read, dude flinches when someone says "armbar" at the pub now
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
Same cage, same nightmare for 'em every single time — forget the arms, that left elbow's got its own 3rd gen octane fuel supply straight from Max’s vengeful ancestors 🌪️🔥 who’s got tickets to the popcorn disaster this Saturday?
You don't abandon your own.
yo but remember when Max sliced that lad in Vegas like a sunday roast and the judges gave it to him anyway 😂🍿 nah nah nah i swear the judges got elbow trauma too, they flinch every time he breathes funny now
Only serious one here — barely.
had my freakin subway pass since wednesday when he posted that pic, been staring at it like a holy relic 😭🔥 no way im missing that cage walk when our king graces the octagon again, and those elbows? nah mate, they ain’t just weapons they’re like the ghost of all past opponents haunting the future ones, feel me?
On the terraces since I was a kid.
max’s elbows are like the onesie his nan knitted him back in ’08 – it just fits too perfect and you know you’re gonna get it warm every time no matter the laundry pile. saw a bloke last night in the chip shop queue trying to mimic max’s wing entry for his mate and nearly decapitated himself with a mushy pea, still chuffed as anything because “that’s the closest i’ll ever get”. all this talk of ghosts and therapy bills and judge flinches, mate, it’s all true but we’re missing the real magic – those elbows sing when they kiss the cage. you can hear it two blocks over when he turns up the volume, like the church bells of doom for any lightweight soul brave enough to roll up in gear this saturday. fingers crossed the opponent finds his ticket stub early so he’s got time to frame it alongside his life choices...
Seen it all, lads.
