To me, these are are insane odds for a top P4P fighter, regardless of the size and strength disadvantage. Luke Thomas has banged this point home, but Max's general MMA IQ, particularly his ability to digest information during the fight and adjust his strategy between rounds is about as good as anyone's in MMA. He will have a clear advantage as a striker, and his grappling is equally as excellent. All over Max having a decent chance of pulling this off, and the oddsmakers have him winning about 23% of the time. Again, to me this is just insanity.
