Holloway VS Nate is going to be a great stand-up war.Holloway might be the best striker at 155 right now. The pressure, pace and volume he puts on is unreal. He just breaks you down while slipping punches and even if you catch him he's got a granite chin. Gonna have to roll with Holloway on this one but I'm not counting Poirier out
Max isn't going to have to cut much weight. He's going to be bringing in more power to the cage as wellI want Max to win but I feel Poirier will win, here's why: Max is an unknown quantity at 155, where as Poirier has been there a while and filled into the weight class. Max has good boxing and cardio, but Max relies on standing in front of guys and landing lots of strikes to wear them down. He can't stand there and trade 1:1 with Dustin because he has more power, and he's a guy who rallies late to finish fights (Eddie & Gaethje recently). Max will have his moments in the fight but will get TKOed in the 4th or 5th.
If they agree to fight that would shock me to be honest. They both have a good friendship and respect each other from the Yancy connectionHolloway VS Nate is going to be a great stand-up war.
If only Nate would get into the cage...
Dustin has a much better tank than Aldo and Aldo was winning both fights comfortably until he started slowing down and Max got his chance to overwhelm him.I like Dustin, but what makes you think he can smash Holloway all the way to a different class, given what Max did to Aldo?
Genuinely curious as to how you think Aldo is beneath Poirier.
Rooting for Max (slightly) but feel Poirier is the stronger fighterWho takes the main event? (if it goes through)
Can't be too sure these days with the UFC. Lots of last minute BS.
But, if it does go through, I've got Holloway. Most likely by TKO in the 3rd.
They are honestly not similar bro, at allOrtega is kinda similar in style to Dustin and we saw how that went. Dustin carries a hell of a lot more power but Max has survived big shots at a lower weight. I doubt Dustin finishes him nor matches Max’s pace
... Dustin has fought and beat better fighters.
