UFC Fight Island - Holloway vs Kattar

[sooby]

Max looked real good in the first 2 rds of the 2nd Volk fight. Need to re-watch and see what Volk did differently in the last 3.

You can't backup vs Max. Leg kicks and hold your ground and counter when he throws.

I know Volk doesn't care for a 3rd fight but this may be one scenario where giving Max a 3rd fight relatively soon makes sense.

Seems like featherweight got weaker with Aldo and Edgar out of the mix there. Yair and Zabit haven't fought in over a year and are among the top of the rankings. I think they just need to pit Yair vs Zabit and the winner for the title shot, before or after Max gets a shot.

Actually forgot about Ortega, he looked pretty phucking good against Korean Zombie

I think he fights Volk in March tho, if Ortega looks anything like he did vs KZ I think he has a good chance

then would like to see an ascended Ortega vs an ascended Max Holloway, but I don't see Ortega beating him tho

Kattar had no business stepping the the cage against max. Literally looked like max was fighting an amateur. The ref should have stopped it; it was cruel to let the guy get punished for so long.

That postfight interview though, he sounded completely demolished mentally too.
we won't see him for a while.

I don’t know how you could recover from something like that. UFC made him feel like he had a chance; they boosted his ego only to sacrifice him to the just bleed gods.

There’s levels in MMA and clearly he isn’t ready. There’s a big skill gap between top 5 to top 10

Kattar is a good fighter

Max is just on a whole other level unfortunately for him and just looked more superhuman there compared to his other fights. Honestly not sure what Kattar could have done there, he was simply slower to every punch.

At least with Francis you know he always has a chance of knocking somebody out brutally, and that his wrestling is a weakness even though that loss was pretty demoralizing.

Jon Jones used to be a phenomenal wrestler. But Ngannou's KO power is still a threat to him
