Max Holloway 5'11" but only 69" reach!

Max's big head and skinny neck may get squeezed into submission
 
I think Pettis takes this if he manages his cut well. He hits harder than Max, 3" reach advantage, hard body shots. Like max, not a fan of his smack talk against aldo. Pettis is old school class. I also hope pettis murks him.
 
Showtime by body kick which ends up leaving Max broken in half.

I think Max is a stud, I love watching him fight, and as much as I used to hate on Pettis (after his Guida fight, he did a lot of complaining etc)...but, I've watched lots of footage of him and he's quietly become of my favorites over the years. Really hoping he pulls this off.
 
The thing that worries me is that Max fights at medium long range, the range where Pettis shines. Max needs to push him to the fence.
Great point, although i'm not sure he can hold Pettis against the fence like RDA or Eddie did. Pettis is the physically stronger of the two.
