Prediction, this will be a great fight. But I think Holloway TKOs Ortega in the 3rd.

Agreed I think Holloway moves better, has the stronger chin and has the better cardio. I don't think Ortega's going to have the chance to use his grappling. I do think Frankie would have beaten Hollaway though.

Ortega has an iron chin and Holloway doesn't KO people with one punch so I don't ever see Holloway TKOing him, if he wins its by decision.

Ortega has more ways of winning the fight than Holloway does.

I think Max gets it done, but Ortega has had this crazy aura around him that has him pulling off what many deem impossible in MMA from his 3rd Round Hail Mary KO's and Submissions to being the first fighter to Knock Out Frankie, it's safe to say, either one of them takes it.

I'm rolling with the Blessed Era, but I'm not ruling out Ortega at all.

I'm still leaning a little bit towards Holloway but Ortega's striking was impressive last Saturday, he was very relaxed and proved to be able to knock out a very durable opponent.

After seeing what Ortega did to Frankie, how could you still say he would have beaten Holloway, Holloway would have stiffed him in the 2nd or 3rd Round? Holloway and Ortega are around the same size, but Holloway has much more crisp and technical boxing in the stand up department. He would have done what Ortega did but later in the fight.

Max wont tower Ortega and who the hell can count out Brian at this point?

Because Frankie was scared of taking Ortega to the ground, Frankie does best when his threat of the take down sets up his striking and visa versa. Holloway is a good grappler, good takedown defense but not enough to fend off Frankie one of the best mma wrestlers ever.

Styles make fights.

I don't know about that, Edgar said in multiple interviews that he was training for someone that's good on the ground(Max) and even though Holloway has most of his finishes by TKO, he has a good under the radar submission game, so he wouldn't be lost on the ground either, and like Ortega, he has a large frame and limbs to capitalize on Frankie's wrestling and try to nab a submission. I don't think Edgar would have had much success taking Max down if he utilized his frame and range.

To each their own I guess.

The fans are the winners this time, this will be a wicked fight.

Sure I agree Holloway is a good grappler, I just haven't seen enough of him to be able to say he's good enough to beat Frankie on the ground unlike Ortega who had the grappling advantage in everyone's mind. Ofcourse you never really know until they fight, impossible game to predict accurately.

Really excited about this fight. Ortega is on a great run with good wins, he finishes people but on the other side you have Max who is on a 12 Fight Win streak losing last 2013 to McG a decision. I really dont know who is gonna win but i lean towards Max, both are good everywhere i could see it being Max greatest Challenge to date, i dont see anyone getting finished, its definitely the fight to make.
