Holloway vs Ferguson is the best superfight to make

[Osiris3657]

I know neither guy has much name recognition among the casuals, but fuck the casuals. This would be an amazing fight.

On one side, you have Max Holloway, featherweight champion (which he will remain after he thrashes Aldo again on Saturday).

11 fight win streak over nearly 4 years. Action fighter, loves to stand and bang but is no slouch on the ground. Has a great chin, cardio and pushes the pace.

On the other side, you have Tony Ferguson, lightweight champion (interim blah blah).

10 fight win streak over nearly the same time as Holloway's streak. Cardio for days, good chin (gets dropped but recovers quickly), pace machine, slick submission game but also a very creative and underrated standup. Will also stand and bang and love it.

Both guys are a skinny 5'11" so there would be no size disadvantage. Yes, Tony does have a significant reach advantage (76 to 69) and it would be a factor, but reach advantage is not the end all, be all.

This would be a 5 round war that would be the greatest offering the Just Bleed Gods have ever received

I want to see this fight so bad, and you should too!

If Conor vacates the title to Tony then yeah.

That whole fucking mess needs to be sorted first. If Conor just want's to duck then give Tony the title what's so hard about it.

 

[Draper]

Tony Ferguson is skinny? How?

 

[executionermma]

Not until one of them clean his weight class, to Max there's Edgar and Ortega at least. Enough of super fights, i wanna see fighters defending their belts.

 

[Osiris3657]

Tony Ferguson is skinny? How?

Yes he is dumbass. Skinny, lean, slim, pick whatever synonym you want. He's certainly not "ripped" or "jacked"

 

[UhHuhSure]

they would be very similar stylistically and physically

 

[Reach4theSky]

Would be a great fight. I think Tony's size would be a big factor..

Guess you missed the part where I said both guys have double digit win streaks in their respective divisions.

 

[Fahcough]

Neither are super

Don't ruin the word

he prob meant lanky.

Both guys are a lean 5'11" so there is no size advantage for Tony. He does have a big reach advantage though

Ortega may very well lose to Swanson next and I think Max beats the brakes off him. I agree Edgar is next.

The work Max put on FW division is outstanding. He beat them all except Frankie.


Tony has Khabib and Justin/Eddie winner in case Conor does not come back.

Lol not in the slightest

Size as in, muscle-mass and strength. Although they are the same height, Tony is the bigger boned stronger fighter..

 

[Osiris3657]

I think that's very debatable. It certainly isn't obvious based on the eye test. Someone call up Dana and have both guys have their BMI measured followed by a lifting contest in the weight room.

Because height is the only factor in size

 

[UhHuhSure]

Lol not in the slightest

?

Tony has more subs because fighters like to give up their neck to him. He's a better grappler but they both like to stand and bang.

Tony is skinny during his weigh in, he's probably got a good thirty pounds on Max

 

[VVarhead]

Stop with this shit!

None of em has defended their title yet and Tony is still the fucking interim champ (even though he shouldn't be)
