Does Holloway leave his brain at home? He kept moving forwards like it was nuttin

He was winning when he walked forward.

But just cause someone has moments, even when they're known for these extraordinary moments, doesn't mean they're able to do it against anybody, just opponents whose power they can handle.

There is some pre-zombie mode risk assessment there, don't get it twisted.
 
He’s a volume pressure fighter. He always fights like that.
 
Has Holloway ever been knocked down? Reminds me of BJ never getting knocked down until just recently against Yair.
 
Holloway wins his biggest fights by endurance.

He only beat Aldo because he can take it and has an insane chin. Aldo had him hurt in both fights early but he was not able to put him away and then crumbled under the insane pressure that Max likes to bring.

Poirier had the power to hurt Max, the size to eat his best shots for five rounds and the cardio to do it for five. He prepared well, fought smart and rightfully won.

Holloway is in a weird spot. I don't think 145 is healthy for him. And at 155 the guys hit harder. He could try to keep making 145 or stay at 155. He would still be a contender easily. But becoming champ here would be tougher for him.
