Lamas UD

 

[Nightmaree]

Lamas has way better resume than Holloway, imo. Winner by dec, probably Ricardo

 

[AceCooch]

Holloway UD

 

[ajwbjj87]

Holloway by tko

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Another jab fest by Holloway.




Lamas has all the tools to win, but his Fight IQ and discipline is sloppy.

 

[leatherf4ce]

Lamas, 3rd round TKO.

I can't see how you could say that...

Holloway has won 8 fights in a row over 2 years, including Cub, Olivera, and Stephens... His only real losses are Poirer and Conor, cause he lost a crap decision to Bermudez..

Ricardo hasn't done much other than beat Bermudez in that time

Lamas overall wins are way more impressive. Sure he is not that active as Holloway. Also win over Oliveira is BS

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

I think Lamas takes. Dudes underrated

 

[Gilday]

I got Holloway by UD.

 

[Pls Respond]

I'm not impressed by either of them tbh.

I think both are vastly overrated on sherdog.

 

[tdko]

Lamas is mad underrated, I think he takes Max out.

 

[M Raid K]

I can't pick against Holloway, but he should be careful there. One mistake and Lamas can instantly change the complection of the fight like he's done so many times.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Max, to the windows, to the walls!

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

Hard fight to call. Holloway seemed to have a big hole in his wrestling game getting taken down 4 times by Bermudez, Conor, and 3 times by Fili. But since then his TDD has been perfect stuffing 12 takedowns from stephens and 3 from Swanson. Then again neither of them are good wrestlers.

So, to me it comes down to if his TDD is good enough to stop lamas who is an above average but not great wrestler.

I favor Holloway probably by about 60/40. Maybe 65/35.

 

[Jackonfire]

I'm picking Lamas in this one. No doubt Holloway is dangerous but I think Ricardo is a bit underrated. His only losses in the UFC are to Aldo and Mendes, 2 of the best in the division.

 

[Moral Victory]

Holloway, both are mentally strong in a fight but i think Holloway is a straight killer and he wont stop to anything Lamas will do against him.
