• Support the first proposal, per pageviews. Maxwell Griffin is fine where he is. 99to99 (talk) 02:37, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support 1. Moving Maxwell Griffin seems unnecessary, we can just use hatnotes. 162 etc. (talk) 04:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support the first, oppose the second since Maxwell and Max are different names.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:01, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
• Comment. The soccer player is also known as Max Griffin: [1]. DrKay (talk) 15:39, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support both due to page views. ––FormalDude talk 00:35, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support Max Griffin (fighter) → Max Griffin per nomination, accompanied by Max Griffin → deleted to make room for move and oppose Maxwell Griffin → Maxwell Griffin (soccer player) per 162 etc. and Ortizesp. A hatnote atop each entry, indicating each sportsman's plain name without a parenthetical qualifier, would indeed suffice. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose both moves proposed; the first one because I don't think there is a PRIMARYTOPIC, the second because the long-standing and well-established disambiguation would be '(soccer)', not '(soccer player)', as shown recently in the discussion at Talk:Quinn (soccer)#Requested move 21 August 2021. Pinging those who have !aleeady voted who might not be aware - @RafaelHP, 99to99, 162 etc., Ortizesp, FormalDude, and Roman Spinner:. NB even if the first article is moved, then the second should stay where it is and simply hatnote between the two per WP:TWODABS. GiantSnowman 11:56, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm fine with it just being (soccer) but the fighter definitely is the primary topic. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 18:32, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose the second. (1) The qualifier, if needed, would be (soccer); see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople)#Association football (soccer). (2) But no qualifier is needed. There's no evidence that the fighter is called "Maxwell". For all I know, he might have been christened Max, Maximilian or Maximus, or something else.
