We all agree that is almost impossible for Max to win the fight? (I love the guy but is the truth)

He would never stuff Khabib takedowns

Only hope is getting a submission or Khabib to gas
 
It’s mma. Anything can happen. But I’m still picking Khabib.

Any official odds on this new fight yet ?
 
Khabib will maul him.

Some people seem to be getting swept up in the whole underdog thing and actually convincing themselves Max can/will win.

It's not happening my dudes.
 
The odds are definitely heavily in Khabib’s favor I guess. It wouldn’t be a bad bet placing just a small amount on Max because he has a chance
 
At this point, I've learned to not doubt Max. How can you have doubt in someone who excels in the art of adjusting his gameplan on the fly, regardless of what round/time it is?

It would not surprise me if Max ended it up winning because he adjusts after losing the first two rounds.
 
Khabib is heavy favorite and i expect him to maul No Camp Max.

But never say never in the sport of punch face.

All it takes is one punch face.
 
On short notice, almost impossible? Sure, I'll give you that.

Max has a small shot this weekend.
 
Serra defeated GSP and was'nt a fluke either

Btw i support anybody that feel to bet money on Max!
 
awesome fight. im excited. hollway is like tony where its like hes never in a boring fight. dude brings it everytime and is a fighting champion
 
If he can survive the first 2 rounds without taking too much damage on the ground, he might be able to outwork Khabib in last 3 rounds
 
Once it hits the ground... pretty much over. A-Level Ground and Pound until the fight is stopped.
 
I'm less confident Khabib will win now tbh

Max has real crisp boxing, good cardio and throws in combinations. He's a bigger threat on the feet

That being said, he has nothing to offer on the ground
 
He defends takedowns by managing distance well and being in good positions. He's not known for a good sprawl or anything. And he has great cardio and a great chin, like Tony. He's by far the best striker of the three (Max, Tony, Khabib).

However, unlike Tony, he's not especially physically strong or a wrestler, so if Khabib can repeatedly get ahold of him, he's going down. And he isn't anywhere close to the threat Tony is on the ground with elbows and subs. He's also not great at finishing fights quickly; he typically requires accumulation of damage.

I think Tony is the tougher fight for Khabib, but I'm not ruling out Max's chances of winning. He needs to keep it on the feet most of the time and out strike Khabib, and in the process, wear him down and make him gas to win a decision or finish him late.
 
No, we don't all agree.

Holloway had speed, boxing, footwork, movement, is good in the scrambles, and has top level cardio.
 
He's good at punching people in the face, for an MMA fighter. Khabib really likes getting punched in the face. I wouldn't be surprised to see Max win.
 
Nothing is impossible in MMA. How many times must you dummies be proven wrong on this. Max would most certainly get stomped (I'm still not committing to the idea this match is even happening until tomorrow), but he has a chance. He's not some scrub moving up, this is the guy with one of the best and longest active winning streaks in the UFC and the current champ. This would be a tough fight for Holloway even with a full training camp, but he's still no bum.

Anything can happen. Flying showtime triangle off the cage. Anything can happen!
 
I'm gonna wait a bit and see what @RafaelDosSantos says is a lock, then bet on the opposite since he's had a perfect record of getting everything wrong this year. It takes serious talent to go 0 for 6 on a card. :D
