Max 'Blessed' Holloway

[knspiracy]

Can't believe not a thread regarding his win/bandwagon/hypetrain/KOTN

Of all the no names on the card, he is a worthy name, looked great against a rangy experienced fighter, albeit not a big name but far from a "can".

Max's striking looked great once he opened up and found a way inside, took risks. He looked a bit bewildered by Will's size, but made the right adjustments and got his first OTN bonus. Congrats Max!

I like this kid, talented, not too jesus'ey, super nice, humble. I'm on the small bandwagon.

He's one of my favourite fighters, love his style. Been on the Hollowagon ever since he put that beating on Schilling.

Im on board man, good to see him back in the win column after losing to the GOAT.

That combination in the 2nd round against Chope with the spinning back kick was sick. Reminds me of Anthony Pettis, to bad Koch is moving up to LW if he stay at 45 that would be a sick fight,

Im on board man, good to see him back in the win column after being thoroughly dominated by the GOAT.

Really like Max. Had a great fight and glad he got the win. I always thought his nickname was blast before I heard Blessed tonight.

He should have won against Bermudez

I'm on the Band Wagon.

Bought into him since the Justin Lawrence fight. I thought people haven't really given him any credit for his wins, but then count him out when he losses.

He does live/die by the sword, which could mean a down-turn at any time. But if I recall correctly he arguably won the Bermudez fight. So really he's lost to Porier and McGregor. Not exactly bad losses on such a young fighter's record.

Nice. Thx for the gif

edit: Just noticed its a JUMPING spinning back kick to the liver.

 

[Papasmurf45619]

A very exciting fighter to watch, and very respectful. I like him. Think he's got tons of potential.

 

[dieknowsore]

might be my favorite combination now.

i love them body shots.

^^^^ Guess that answers my question. Wondered if I remembered it wrong. I guess not.

So did I, oh blast!

He should've beat Bermudez, but should've lost to Garcia in a fight full of rookie mistakes. He's talented, loose. Needs to bulk up some to avoid being grinded.

I thought he won also. The dude has a lot of potential and only has lost to the Goat and Diamond.

 

[lapollarecords]

he lost decisively to Conor McGregor. acknowledging he is very good would mean acknowledging Conor is better. most Sherdog hates the notorious one and will never admit he is good. they will keep denying it no matter who he beats, until he loses and gets the overrated label and derailed hype train threads are made.

Holloway is awesome. he has that Diaz style volume punching and also very good kicks.

Still pissed.

you all know nothing about MMA, were all drunk while watching the fight. also legkicks don't hurt.
