Pic: Holloway Towering Over Frankie in Detroit for Media Day

[Chivas GDL]

Frankie really hates cutting weight

I don't think even 135 would be that hard for him

Louis Smolka, Tim Elliot, Paddy holahan. This are flyweights taller than frankie, I think he can make the weight.

The Yair vs Frankie difference was greater.

Anyways, these kind of threads are RETARDED. There are WEIGHT classes not HEIGHT classes in fighting sports for a REASON. In fact across boxing and MMA studies show that height is slightly NEGATIVELY correlated with percentage wins. That is being SHORTER is actually an advantage on average, if anything (probably because of thicker bones, lower center of gravity, more potential muscle mass)

I have a feeling that Frankie will finally get his 145 belt.

I know Holloway is real strong and skilled n shit, but I think Frankie will Yair his ass.

I think that Aldo could have beaten Max as well, but I don't think Aldo has that hunger in him anymore.

He did his best with Frankie 2, but after winning the belt back, and realizing that he'll never get to Conor, ever again, he just deflated.

I have always wondered why Frankie doesn't challenge for the bantamweight and maybe flyweight belts, I really think he may have some obssesion about testing himself vs bigger guys.

Frankie has to be one of the goats for that reason

Im going with Holloway... too big, skilled and young

 

[tehMoose]

Frankie will dominate him

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Frankie ducks under everything and lands takedowns at will.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Frankie was taller back in the dayz

Amazing how well Holloway uses his reach considering he has less wingspan than height. Strangely: Bendo has 71" at 69" tall, and Holloway's only got 69" at 71" tall.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Please don't compare Yair to Max

won't matter much when their on the ground

Lol at Conor acting like he's the first guy to fight someone three times his size.

 

[Karelinator]

As above - he is almost always a shorter party, nothing new.

He's a little tank for sure though.

Frankie is boss but I really like Max as well. Great fight, sucks one has to lose.

I got Max by decision.

 

[JUST_BOB]

Frankie is the answer against Midget Mouse. Frankie is MM's size and was once king of the 155 class boss.

 

[daltonames]

Max is same height as Yair.

 

[Shadowthrone]

holloway has a 1" reach advantage LMAO

Well, the odds favor Holloway in my opinion as well.... it's just this feeling....

 

[Gabe]

Max is same height as Yair.

But a much better fighter.

Any link/source to those studies?

Not being an asshole, I'm genuinely curious.
