Topuria - Holloway is really easy to predict

[NMcCauley]

Round 1 & 2: Holloway circling around ilia controlling the distance and winning both rounds.
Round 3 to 5: Ilia wrestling the fuck out of Holloway and either finishing him or winning the three rounds and the fight.

You read it here first.

I just remember all you sherdog geniuses picking Gaethje to KO Max too

Topuria has a cheap ass wine logo tattooed on his chest:



Max via not being drunk.

I just remember all you sherdog geniuses picking Gaethje to KO Max too

"Please Max I'm begging you call off the Gaethje fight"

threads like that to give us one of the best KOs of all time

Round 3: Topuria folding from Max's punches and begging him to stop.

Ilia is going to smash max. And i like Max.

Some can recognize once in a lifetime talent, some cannot. Max is in trouble.

i think people overrated Gaethje's win over Dustin.

Betting against Max is a dangerous thing to do.

Bet the over

Max is about to be torn up. Max toughness will ensure a thorough beating though.

I feel like Topuria will finish Max inside two rounds. But if Max win - i'll be happiest man alive (for two days)

I'm definitely interested in seeing how much wrestling Topuria decides to implement.

If you're gonna go with a wrestle heavy gameplan in a 5 rounder you'd better KNOW your gas tank will hold up.

I could see him trying a couple TD's to mix it up and give Max something to think about. I don't see Ilia deciding he's Bryce Mitchell today though.

Yeah it would be pretty stupid trying to Khabib someone for the first time in your life in a title fight lol. But I think a lot of people are not even thinking about the potential of Ilia scoring points and edging out rounds with takedowns. Maybe that's just the casuals I'm hearing on the dawg tho.

If Ilia shoots a takedown, Max isn't just going to think about it. He will be on his back.

Yeah. Although with the new scoring, the round really has to be DEAD even for a late TD to matter. Used to be a guy could be a little behind in a round with the striking but hit a TD and have a minute of control time and steal the round. Not so much anymore.

Ilia will have to measure if it's worth the energy expenditure. Esp because stuffed TD's look bad and use energy and Max is a pretty damn good counter grappler.

Maybe, but Max has excellent getups. Dude has seen everything, has an endless gas tank so using the energy needed to get up has never been an issue. Ilia has good wrestling but he's not Khabib where he can immediately re-mat dudes over and over either.

I'm not trusting the judges to judge according to the new scoring lol.

And I wasn't also just talking about getting that late stupid takedown with 15 seconds on the clock and then you hear Rogan going even tho new scoring is in place "Oh that could've sealed the round for him!"

No retard, it didn't and shouldn't.

Anyways I digress, I meant that Topuria might actually be good enough to spend a couple of minutes on top of Max in a singular round and get points that way

He might be and if his wrestling is that good and his cardio holds up, nobody is gonna beat him for a LONG time.
