Max UD

I think It’s gonna be back and forth and close but Max will a decision via higher output. 49-46 or 48-47. Holloway pulls away in the championships rounds.

Ortega by SUB

One of the most interesting fights at FW in a long time. I got T-City, doubters be ready.

 

[Peoples]

The most interesting question for me is: which chin will crack?

Both guys seem to have an Iron chin...its like the diaz Bros fighting each other.

I Think ortega takes it because Max doesn't want to risk a TD and this will imho affect his stand up Game.

Plus ortega won't get tired like aldo.

Both guys can go 5 rds.

I See huge Potential in a Conor fight because Conor has better hands but both guys display the same Problems like Nate : Durability, Cardio and Jitz (speaking for TCity)

Nice to be able watching These great fighters during their Prime

I'm done counting out Ortega.

 

[The guest]

Holloway.

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

triangle city. that neck is for the taking.

T city has such amazing intangibles. Then again so does max. Max is better on the feet, like way better but t city is way better on the ground. I always give the guy on the ground the advantage in a too close to call matchup. No dis to max, I think he is amazing.

 

[lukeuidswords]

Holloway puts hands on him. Swanson was landing to the body and Edgar was sticking him with right hands with impunity until they got caught in Ortega's web. Max is fresher than both and incredibly skilled.

Me too. I've got T City again with some crazy finish.

 

[Touch of Death]

I don't think Ortega could beat Aldo let alone Max.

One thing that you are forgetting is that Aldo has very good cardio and can go all 5 rounds. But Max worked his body and never stopped. Holloway is one of the, if not the best body striker in mma.

I like Ortega, but I can't see him lasting all 5 rounds with Holloway's output and body work.

 

[ArtemV]

Holloway will make this look easy. Ortega is cool, but his striking is perfect for someone like Holloway. Holloway made Aldo gas by the third, by body work and output alone. He will do the same with Ortega who isn't nearly as good of as a striker that Aldo is.

Styles make fights, Ortega has a very poor takedown game and isn't a very polished striker.

Holloway by tko. This fight seems very one-sided to me. Holloway has length and rarely over commits and takes huge risks.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Holloway will put the boy down.

With no wrestling?Max doesn't fight like that even against guys that have good wrestling and Ortega has 1 td in his UFC career and that was in his first fight.Ortega is BJJ/striking that's it,the guys wrestling is non existent,just amazing bjj.

Plus ortega won't get tired like aldo.

Both guys can go 5 rds.

With Max's pace?We simply don't know that.He clearly won the 5th round vs Keoni Koch but keeping up with Max is a different story.My intuition also tells me he'll be fine in a 5 round fight but again,we just don't know that.

 

[UFCfan91]

Holloway would beat him easier than he beat aldo

 

[pick999]

ortega walks you down and isnt afraid of going through combos.
ortega via decision

 

[mirellale]

Holloway via UD or late KO
