I'm sure Max wouldn't do the same mistake BJ did by fighting outside of his weight class where he was dominant in his prime years (Dude even fought Machida!!). BJ should have stayed in his own division and wiped the entire division like DJ and GSP did. I saw one article that stated BJ would be forever considered the Prodigy and never the Legend.. (it sounds quite harsh but rings some truth) as his career was largely 'what could have been'. Fighting Machida, who weighed 225 and beating one of the most dominant 170 champs of all time is what makes BJ, well, BJ. He was crazy, that's what makes him special. He beat 2 gracies at 185, hughes at 170, sherk, pulver, florian, the list goes on. Had he retired after he KOd Hughes he would easily be in the top 3 goat conversation imo.
