Next Saturday can't come soon enough. I'm pretty confident in kattar winning, but prepared for the disappointment if max pulls it off.

 

[Cpt Migraine]

May the best man win..

 

[KID Yamamoto]

I am pretty sure the "zoom training" is all bullshit right? I mean cmon lol.

 

[Jabbathehook]

Is he going to make weight?

If Kattar wants to be the best, he's got to beat the best and the best is Blessed! All aboard the Blessed Express!

Thanks for posting @svmr_db And @bleeder pretty much my thoughts too. Really looking forward to this fight. I always go with Max and this will be no different. I do like Kattar too though.

Unfortunately he’s just going through the motions now. We know this he knows this. He’s had an excellent career and hope it doesn’t end to badly for him to where he can soon retire and enjoy life as a family man before the damage kicks in

That's a pretty unpopular opinion. A lot of people had him winning the second fight against Volkanovski. He's still elite.

Max and Kattar are polar opposites in terms of character. Max couldn't be more chill dude, while Kattar on the other hand has a fierce temper and goes to a full denial mode if someone is better than him. Hopefully Max swarms him and destroys his life.

What are you talking about?

I used to think Max was only a great boxer who threw the occasional kicks. But he showed in his second fight with Volk that he is becoming a more multi-dimensional striker. I think we might see an even more improved Max in this fight with Kattar. I'm looking forward to seeing some takedowns mixed into his striking. Kattar's a good fighter with great boxing but I see him as being too too reliant on his boxing. Kattar is hard to stop. I see Max by 5 round decision.
