Max Hollaway at 155lbs

Dude stepping up to face Khabib.


Bummed out that Tony got hurt but Max is crazy and I love it

[WarMMA]

Yh that's crazy. But even crazier, Hollaway actually has a chance to pull a Conor now and get both belts and this is still a really interesting fight tbh. Him vs Khabib style wise is gonna be very interesting.

Max has the striking and stamina advantage very curious to see if he can get up from khabibs takedowns

It all comes down to that. And tbh it's probably a bad matchup for Max, considering his past matches with wrestlers and guys that grappled him. Guys like Dennis Bermudez, Dustin Porier and hell even Conor have had success taking Holloway down and grappling him. So against a guy like Khabib, it doesn't look to good for him.

Hollaway has not let anyone in a long time take him down.

Also Blessed had a twisted ankle against conor.

Well he can get a pass against Conor in that case, but we can't dismiss the fact that all of his losses come from guys that have grappled him. Even if he hasn't been taken down in a long time, we're talking Khabib here, who's definitely going to be the best wrestler Holloway has ever faced. I personally really don't see him being able to stop Khabib's wrestling...especially when I remember those past losses and how he lost, but who knows. We'll see.
