Max continues to blow my mind. I remember when he lost 3 out of 4 (one loss to Poirier and two to Volkanovski) I kinda figured he was done for. Even though he lost to Volkanovski for a third time later Volkanovski has been on a rapid decline since then while Max has once again bounced back and continued to win.
Hes only 32 so I could see him make a run at the title but he does have 33 MMA fights so I do wonder about the damage he has and how much longer he can hold up for. If what you say is true for him to fight Topuria I think that this is the best time for him to do it. He has a ton of momentum and even though Topuria is undefeated Josh Emmitt went 5 rounds against him which makes me think Max has a chance!

How many fights do you think he has left in him? I only see five maybe six left before the tires come off. That would put him at 38/39 fights and you don't see many guys make it to that point and if they do its often as gatekeepers, not title holders or challengers.
