Max Holloway would school Conor in a rematch

[KinG]

Max would win it easy , the fight would not be close

 

[PeacePipe]

I think Holloway did better against Peahead. Mcgregor thinks its still 2015 lol

 

[Kono dio da!]

Look, guys...either Dooostin is a GREAT fighter or hes not.

Either Khabib is unbeatable or hes not.

Make up your minds because if the 2 above statements are true, theres no shame in Conor losing to both.

Conor is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC and I doubt Max has the power to hurt him any more than Nate did in the 2nd fight.

elbows

 

[HHJ]

Would love to see it. But if Max starts pullin ahead he will emasculate and taunt and embarass Conor and itll be all over. They rather him fight nice boys like Dustin

Holloway's big problem against Conor is the 5-inch reach disadvantage. Holloway has the same reach as Eddie Alvarez -- 69 inches.

When Conor fought guys with such short reaches, he focused on managing distance. He was a master at staying just outside the punching range of fighters with short reaches, then using his significantly longer reach and impressive accuracy to tag his opponent over and over again with the left hand.

I think Conor is overrated, but he really shines against opponents over whom he has a big reach advantage.

I agree, but I also think Max is used to fighting guys with a longer reach than him—even though Conor's arm-reach would be one of the longest ones he's fought. He's developed a style more towards fighting guys with a longer reach.

Max will probably have issues with him in the early rounds, though. Like most Conor opponents. However, I just have a hard time seeing this fight going any other way than Max melting him with pressure in the later rounds.

Holloway will eat him alive.

Max TKO 3rd round

 

[wisdom blows]

Max had less than 3 years fighting experience at that point. He was obviously much less skilled, given he went to split decision against Leonard Garcia around the same time. Compare how he fights now to then.

what’s your point? That they peaked at different times? That’s obvious.

Have you read the thread title?

 

[WarFan90]

I

5 years ago. That win is about as relevant as Cerrone's welterweight win streak.

I belive you said ever....

 

[Dorkman]

I'd favor max too these days no question.

 

[BangBang]

I believe he would.

 

[Maaj19]

Conor went five with Dustin? I know Max did. He even had Dustin hurt at one point and won two rounds.

If Max had bulked up properly and not just decided to not cut as much weight, as well with his new found movement, kicks and defense, he could possibly beat Dustin.

I know he would beat the shit out of Conor though.

This.

Even Dustin said he was rocked and Mac had that choke at the end of the 4th well locked in iirc

 

[SuperAlly]

Conor barely beat Nate in the rematch and literally jogged away to survive. Nate also let’s his opponents off the hook by not cutting off the ring or hurrying on the feet, as with Leon.

Holloway has more craft than Nate, he would finish Conor in a 5 rounder.

1 and a half rounder

 

[SuperAlly]

Holloway lasted 5 rounds and had over 150 significant strikes versus Dustin. Conor would win early and get destroyed late.

Survive early and get destroyed shortly after

 

[SuperAlly]

Both Poirier and Max had more UFC experience than Conor. Dustin was ranked top 5. Max and Conor will only fight once and the world will remember how prime Conor clowned him. Not sure what point you’re making wanting to see Max fight an alcoholic, mentally ill, 33 year old Conor at this point lmao

You clowned yourself with this post

 

[Ali Abdelaziz]

He could win on Cardio alone

His chin is iron as we seen with Porier fight. No problem taking big shots.

His skill level is still up there going toe toe with everyone. Volkanovski showed you need ultra fast kicks and in and outs for the volume puncher.

none of those conor can do.

He waits for that left and its not even dynamite in LW division.

Maybe throw some BS kick or something.

I don't think the promotion is on board anymore. Fans are finally wising up, and he hasnt won since

 

[AdamantiumPimmel]

Like Poirier, Holloway lost to Conor early on in his career and has leveled up considerably since then. Is there any doubt he would beat Conor now? He seems like a horrific style matchup. Best chin in mma which Conor couldn't crack in his prime. Elite boxing, and endless cardio. I could see Conor winning the first round, maybe even two, but Max would drown him after that point and get the TKO. I don't think Conor has the heart to withstand getting his face boxed up after he gets tired.

nasty matchup, conor wouldn't take it, it would be the definitive end of his career
didn't conor injure his knee or something in the first match as well? so even out of the first fight, he needed serious medical attention.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Conor has a different game than Dustin. I’d favour Conor, he beat Nate in a five rounder at 170 who is stylistically similar to Max.

He beat him in the sense that he survived.

nah, everything I said was true, so you literally just wasted time posting this lmao
