Holloways striking is something special. I dont even get it. He has a 69 inch reach but still has some of the best striking in MMA.
This is a 50/50 fight imo. Aldos leg kicks should be a huge factor unless Holloway checks one of them early and injures Aldo.
My money would be on Aldo. He looked great against Edgar, and he's much more experienced. I think he stays disciplined and uses a lot of counters like he did against Edgar.
Holloway doesn't suck though, and I expect him to do well in this fight. I could see him pressuring Aldo and even hurting him. I expect him to be a fixture at the top of FW for some time.
Aldo. McGregor got into his head too much resulting in the 13 second loss. Doesn't seem to me that Holloway came close to that in his shit talking. So a relaxed, and playing it safe Aldo in Brazil wins by decision I think.
