Do you think Holloway stands a chance in a rematch?

He ate MCGregor´s shots and survived all 3 rounds. He also landed some good ones..

If Max touches his chin in the rematch, the fight is over IMO.

Thoughts?
 
No.

It wasn't like McG got starched and seizured in the middle of the cage. He got rocked, but his chin wasn't checked completely. Dude can still take a serious shot at the lighter weights.
 
connor gets wobbled for the first time in his career and suddenly "his chin has been found"

lol ok.

lets save that conclusion for guys who get cold KO'd in one punch.

If he hadn't panicwrestled he would have woken up to the salts.
 
McGregor still has the advantage let's be real though. More powerful and better shot selection.

Honestly McGregor's punch placement and selection is probably the best under 170.
 
I think in 5-round fight Holloway will win and I've stayed this way long before Diaz beat McGregor.

THing is Nate's not known for having power in his shots. I'm not saying Cloner has no chin I'm just sayin..
 
did Conor's American fan(the donk he visited) openly weep during & after Nate's ownership? Would love to know.
 
Connor ate bombs from Chad Mendes at featherweight, he can take the lighterweight classes hits more, but Holloway has improved alot, he has a good chance

Read the threads here. That much is clear. There are endless gallons of tears flowing.

at 145 with the huge weight cut... IDK
He ate shots in his previous fights: mendes, siver, etc,. even aldo landed big on him
Once the chin is gone, it´s gone, according to McGregor logic

What are you even saying? If someone gets punched they lose their ability to take a punch?
 
I think Nate should had been finished with a jab since his chin was found more than once. Nate not only got wobbled like Conor more than once, but he has also been dropped and finished before. Lot of times. Same applies with Nick. Yet those guys still can eat bombs after all.

Hunt and Nelson are also great examples. They can take a lot of shots even though they got wrecked in a lot of fights.

I don't know why MMA fans now are like this. A guy can't be hit or wobbled that they come with things like.
 
It wasn't his chin it was his cardio that let him down

chin fades as you take shots, known for decades...
hunt and nelson don´t cut weight, and got KOed
conor hits like a 145 and didn´t have the power to hurt 10 day notice nate
sorry
 
I know we didn't see it, but I'll bet that Aldo really can hurt McGregor. Landing a lunging hook from sheer momentum on the mid-face was enough to snap McGregor's head back. Of course McGregor didn't play defense at all.
In a more protracted battle I expect Aldo to find McGregor's jaw more than a few times...

Nick and Nate didn't fade. Do you even know how many shots did they take during their career. Same with Lawler.

Also, it looked to me that Conor was more gassed than hurt.
