“So you kept reaching out to an engaged woman for five years and she left her partner for you after finding out you make a lot of money…”
Six years ago, the surf world was torn asunder when the one-time people’s champ Caio Ibelli was dumped by his then fiancee, the Hawaiian Alessa Quizon, and replaced with UFC god Max Holloway, also Hawaiian.
Caio Ibelli was last seen on these pages three years ago when he risked unnatural looking results after undergoing gruesome hair transplant surgery in Brazil.
Caio Ibelli had been fighting baldness for at least five or so years, and finally zigged where others, Slater, Julian Wilson, zagged.
Anyway, Max Holloway and Alessa have become the MMA power couple, with Max’s star refusing to dim and Alessa’s sassy surf roots bringing a much needed glam to the sport.
Max, too, ain’t afraid to shred.
Holloway, who is thirty-four, grew up on Oahu’s west side, also famous for the production of Sunny Garcia and Johnny Boy Gomes.
Max has stunned fight fans with his surf bona fides after conquering the famous Waco pool and commanding, Zeus-like, the Shizunami Surf Stadium a couple of hours out of Tokyo.
Anyway, on a recent podcast, Alessa explained that Max was lighting up her DMs when she was engaged to Caio and that she left him on unread for five years. It was his persistence, his consistency, she says, that won her heart.
That, and oowee, he famous, beautiful and rich.
After Max wrote, “I lived by a code though if you have a bf and he can’t defend your honor you have a girlfriend hahaha” the trolls dived in hard, lashing Max for hitting on an almost married girl, a quaint kickback to a time of duels, chivalry etc.
Here’s the context:
1. She was engaged while leaving me on read for 5 years. lol
So if anything I’m an ass that kept reaching out. I lived by a code though if you have a bf and he can’t defend your honor you have a girlfriend hahaha
2. She was a professional surfer and… https://t.co/itiurbc57J— Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) July 18, 2026
Be careful with that “code” of yours brother because Ngannou or even a healthy Conor can use that to steal yo wife just as you did. You ain’t defending against either of them
Ooff. That code is disgusting given you’re a world class fighter. You actually come across worse here than in the cuck version.
so you kept reaching out to an engaged woman for 5 years and she eventually left her partner for you after finding out you make a lot of money and you think that this is a woman worth marrying? you think this makes you look good?
You sound stupid talking about honor when you kept going after another man’s girl for 5 years. She only gave in when she noticed you’re a celebrity lol you’re both weird.
texting an engaged woman’s kinda wack tho. look how people used dustin’s wife texting conor to humiliate him. also you know what they say to lose them how you get them.
This explanation should somehow make the story better? She was engaged for several years and when she googled you she left the guy? I mean. It’s your life but I’m surprised you even want to talk about this in internet and none of you see that this is not romantic story to share
And so on.
I think Max Holloway comes out of this beautifully, a man who fell in love and chased the woman of his dreams across different epochs, never giving in, eventually marrying her.
Caio can go to hell, in my opinion.

Caio sounds like he’s the only one to come out the winner here.
Waste of time and money. I dare say most of the ‘Youtubers’ have never lived in Japan, don’t speak Japanese, or know exactly what’s involved. You get what you pay for. Never truer words spoken…
She was. And I’m still in Kyushu. With a different one. And two kids.
I don’t know what that means. Can you explain?
In 2008, my contract up near Tokyo was finishing and I was on the search for a new gig. Had 4 offers on the table – three nearby and one way down south in Kyushu, in a surf town. My girl at the time kept pushing me to go the Kyushu one. New start, away from the big smoke, quaint surf town, surfing together, just us away from the outside noise yada yada.
So I took the Kyushu one. Drove three days by myself with boards and essentials packed while the removal van dawdled and my girl got her stuff quitting work, leaving home etc sorted.
Well fuck me, I haven’t been down there less than a week and my girl writes a quick two line message saying yeah, nah, not coming. Cold feet, too big a move, good luck with life. No sooner have I dealt with that when I see her swanning about in Honolulu with a big fucken rock on her wedding finger. Brutal.
Surprised his name wasn’t Max.
Like Caio, I dodged a bazooka.
This is entertaining.
On a boat trip to the Mentawai, we dropped the anchor at Lance’s Left an hour before dawn after crossing the Selat Mentawai overnight from Padang –
There was one boat already there, a few guys from their boat got in the dinghy for a quick trip to the lineup and a few guys from our boat did the same, including one well-known Hawaiian pro surfer.
Approximately ten minutes later, as I was about to get in the dinghy myself with cameras, the Captain passed me the binoculars and I watched our Hawaiian pro surfer throw a few punches at one of the Australians in the lineup.
His first trip to the Mentawai and he gets in a fight in in the lineup within ten minutes of paddling out – go figure.
Polynesia is a violent culture, where disputes immediately escalate to violent confrontations.
ah that’s called humanity…..when ever has man not been violent in getting what he wants?
Some cultures are more violent than others – anyone who has lived for any length of time in a place with Polynesian cultural values, can testify to to the inherent violence of Polynesian culture – including Hawaii and New Zealand.
A very good book about Polynesian culture in New Zealand is “Once Were Warriors” from NZ author Alan Duff.
LOL….Europe/Mid East/China/Japan/Russia/Mongolia etc…another level of war/violence /genocide.etc..it’s mans nature
No, that’s just Nature. Full stop.
The gift of Homosapiens – that which allowed us to outcompete the physically and mentally superior Neanderthals- was our ability to operate under a collective abstract. We developed a part of the brain that allowed us to conceive and share ideas beyond the physical.
We alone could share ideologies, moralities and concepts that created a powerful collective identity beyond the close familial and clannish blood ties of the Neanderthals.
They had larger brains and greater physical prowess, we had the numbers. Our unique minds made us able to group together in communities that were larger than social circles proscribed by limited scope such as shared blood ties. We were brought together by SHARED IDEAS.
This is both the greatest strength and the structural fault line of human achievement.
Man’s nature is to rise above. It’s our evolutionary path. Unfortunately, like most paths…the journey is not always linear. There are digressions, distractions and dead ends.
The trajectory provides hope.
“Man’s nature is to rise above.” rise above what?
For most humans it’s every single minute of every single day.
Humanity is the definition of resisting animalistic urges.
African-American is the designated label – acknowledges African ethnicity and American nationality.
Like Chinese-Americans or Japanese-Americans.
And by ‘comes out of this beautifully’ you obviously mean looking like an absolute cunt. ‘Defend her honor’ – wtf – is this guy fucking twelve? JFC – unbelievable that people actually think this way.
Ciao is the only one who comes away with respect
Not your signature writing style either DR…. I had to check to make sure you own this???
I was just recently at my friends club, first part was ladies hour, free entry and drinks. Place was bumping with every lady shaking it on the floor, at their tables, in the lines at the bar and even for the bathroom.
Too many fish in the sea to get hung up on any one type of tuna sandwich.
Many years ago, a just out of college Com moved up to Santa Clara with his college girlfriend to attend law school. She started working at a restaurant and then as a receptionist at law firm, and we had long discussed getting married after I graduated and took the bar exam.
Things seemed like they were going great during that first year, but then she went on a trip to South America for a further education program for a couple months, met another guy, and kicked me to the curb. Every couple years thereafter she’d attempt to reconnect with me and I always ignored it.
I never even learned that other guy’s name, but if I ever do, I am sending him a thank you card.
sounds like you dodged a bullet
Flighty!
Sometimes a person is sent your way for a reason. Sometimes that reason is something specific to a time and place. And it pays to not hang on beyond the expiry date.
I am here for ya blowin!
I think the inverse is true.
But you could be right. The universe moves in mysterious ways.
you just have to admit you are not an ethnic Australian….the truth will set you free……..
How does Max come across beautifully?
– He probably knew Caio couldn’t beat him up or wouldn’t murder him so he tried to steal his fiancee.
– Alessa only became interested years later when she found out he was famous
A guy admitting he tried for years to break up someone’s relationship while his wife says she ignored him for years, uninterested until finding out he was famous…nothing beautiful there.
“until finding out he was famous”
Ummmm, no – finding out how very much more money Max makes for beating people senseless than Caio made as a professional surfer –
I didn’t mention money cause I don’t know if he was making a lot when they met.
hole maxxing
He likes the Holloway!
They call that white anting (white ants being termites here in Aus)
cunty move on anybody’s books
Id say Max helped Caio out
“Never give in…” always..always! Come on their chest
Allegedly Aleesa once rooted a married Bret Simpson in full view of other surfing passengers while on a flight. Has anyone else heard what Caio is up to now? Apparently he married a fellow Brazzo doctor and wanted to move to Straya, which was granted but apparently they have to do a year in the back of beyond down here before they’re allowed to move to where they want. Like most Brazzos I imagine this is the Goldy? Dont have any social media and this is just what I hear off mates and cunts that I work with xx
Simpo once gave Princess Diana a full face blast of steaming white love piss l heard
Faaark really? Tell us more Andy cuz I always had a thing for Princess Di mate
Don’t know much more than that, mate. Although, the missus once asked me to treat her like a princess. Said, cool, let’s get some piss cunt in a Mercedes to drive us into the fucking tunnel wall at 100 k/mh an hour. Wasn’t keen for some reason.
You romantic.
why did they do that? Just let the paparazzi take your photo.
not trusting that story much
princess Di?
Youre fucking old
Had a thing for older Sheilas when I was young mate. What about Kate? I love that posh, seemingly innocent accent haha
I had a major thing for two older women as a yute. Loved every minute, will share over beers someday on Tav
There was something so raw about a refined woman getting dirty
Its a date xx
Kate is great.
He is riding those Album knock offs that cunt Josh Kerr is peddling.
Poor Josh, what has he ever done to you mate?
Maybe 007 is referencing the time Kerzy took a wildcard into a challenger event cause he was there anyways coaching his daughter and then rode a twin fin as a goof?
Hangs out with off the chain. Thats all I need to see.
Do you think him and Yadin play patty cake while deciding King’s dowry for Sierra?
I wish all of them would get shipped back to Oz.
Plus I am sure you have heard what happened between him and Album? Shadddddyyyy.
wait Caio is a doctor too?
Haha English has never been my strong point Com!
Caio and The lil lady moving out back ‘o Bourke? Sounds like Dez’s wishes are coming true!
