Max Holloway would school Conor in a rematch

[blaseblah]

Like Poirier, Holloway lost to Conor early on in his career and has leveled up considerably since then. Is there any doubt he would beat Conor now? He seems like a horrific style matchup. Best chin in mma which Conor couldn't crack in his prime. Elite boxing, and endless cardio. I could see Conor winning the first round, maybe even two, but Max would drown him after that point and get the TKO. I don't think Conor has the heart to withstand getting his face boxed up after he gets tired.

At 155? Holloway didn’t look great against Poirer at that weight.

Holloway went five rounds with Poirier.

He can take whatever Conrad can dish out before he gasses.

Conor doesn't have 3 rounds of cardio let alone 5.

Conor gasses at 155? When?

 

[Superzorro]

Holloway did better against their common opponent. And people have seen Conor lose to someone he's previously beaten. So I think Holloway would be the rightful favorite in that fight.

McGregor doesn't look good against anybody at that weight.

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

At this stage of the game he sure would.

 

[sssleeper]

Holloway takes the rematch. Loses the first round but takes the 2nd and TKO's him in the 3rd.

 

[rakeleaves]

Holloway actually did decent against Poirier. Really it was 3s round to 2 for DP... people just remember Max getting stunned early and forget the rest. Holloway would beat Conor.

Conor went five with Dustin? I know Max did. He even had Dustin hurt at one point and won two rounds.

If Max had bulked up properly and not just decided to not cut as much weight, as well with his new found movement, kicks and defense, he could possibly beat Dustin.

I know he would beat the shit out of Conor though.

Max would drown current Conor. He had a competitive fight with Dustin, and Conor can't make it past 2 rounds in his recent fights with Dustin. Max and Dustin both improved their boxing past Conor's level.

 

[Eredin]

Uhh, yeah, that's a pretty popular opinion.

 

[Tapatio]

Max would absolutely tool Canor the Glass Legged Rat.

Conor has a different game than Dustin. I’d favour Conor, he beat Nate in a five rounder at 170 who is stylistically similar to Max.

 

[Kris Moutinho's Chin]

Before id say Max wins the last 3 rounds but now Conor can't even win the 1st round lol Max by
4-5th round TKO

 

[LoveMyMMA]

A lot of fighters would dismantle Conor in a rematch - Max, Aldo, etc.

Conor is washed up. He's easy pickings for any fighter. I honestly don't think he'd beat anyone in the top 10 of LW division. His best chance would be against Tony who is equally as washed up but I'd lean towards Tony simply because Conor will never be the same after that broken leg.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Anyone who has a resilient chin and cardio would drag Conor to the deep end, for a contendership level fighter his gas tank has always been garbage

 

[spooNN]

Max by TKO in the 3rd.

 

[HaulParris]

It is what it is
