2 years ago I sat right here and filmed an entire video specifically about a $1,000 bet that I placed on Michael Chandler for the fight that was supposed to happen and the intro that you just watched, was the intro to that video and it has only gotten worse since then. He lost a civil suit finding him liable for sexual assault and we just found out he was using banned substances during his layoff which was actually the catalyst to the UFC getting rid of USADA. I only mention all of this because if anyone is under the delusion that a 38 year old party boy who hasn't fought in 5 years is going to come back and shock the world, you are wrong and I'm sure Conor wants what you are smoking.
Conor is old, slow, rusty, and doesn't even have a punchers chance. This is is a rematch from 13 years ago where Conor had 4 takedowns and won a decision of Max hit his 13 fight win streak that made him one of the best Featherweights of our generation. At this point in their lives, Max is better everywhere. Better striking, better grappling, better cardio, better fight IQ… better everything. Max wins this fight, he probably finishes Conor and then maybe we can get Conor vs Chandler which is a more appropriate matchup.
Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor is the biggest star this sport has and likely will ever see. He is a former 2 division champion who perfected trash talk and fight predictions. He fundamentally changed how fighters promote fights and helped turn the UFC into the massive product it is today. Hell, he's even repsonse for We Want Picks because without Conor, Jacob doesn't watch and if Jacob doesn't watch, I don't invite him over 10 years ago to see Conor vs Aldo. At his peak he had lethal power and incredible speed, at his worst, he's a gasser with some quit in him.
Max Holloway
Max Holloway is an amazing striker with very fluid movements that keep his volume and pressure up. He is the all time Significant Stirke king and has put up astronomical numbers. He rounds it all out with with an 83% takedown defense and an entire championship career worth of experience. He was a staple at 145lbs where his only losses in the last 10 years were to Volk and Ilia. He is coming off the BMF title loss to Charles Olivera where he couldn't defend the takedowns.
