What was the injury? I feel like Holloway has nothing to lose but everything to gain while Khabib is more the opposite. He SHOULD win because he has had a full camp and is the bigger guy easily Apparently Tony blew out his knee stopping and changing direction while walking in a parking lot, doing media.

Buckrock101 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 My first thought was he dislocated his elbow capitalizing the first letter of every word he types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Max is tough, and his TDD is good, but Khabib's wrestling is on a whole different level. On the feet, Max has a distinct advantage. If somehow he were able to keep it standing, he would win fairly easily I believe. I can't see him keeping that mauler off of him for any length of time. He also doesn't have one punch KO power imo. Khabib should be able to eat some shots, to get the takedown, which I think will come sooner that later. After that...It's ground n pound city for Max. Oddsmakers opened up with Khabib being a 5 to 1 favorite. Having a day to think about it, I'm really concerned whether Max is at 100% for this fight. It's only a month since the scheduled fight he had to pull out of, so I have a hard time believing his injury is fully healed. Even if it is, he wouldn't have been training nearly as much in the last couple of months. He's also going to have to go through a big weight cut just to make it to fight night. Max is an absolute warrior, but it's honestly kind hard to see him jumping into this fight with no preparation and winning. Win/win situation for the UFC though. Honestly don't think this is bad for their side at all. Khabib wins, we get Conor/Khabib, most likely in Russia, which is going to be massive. Max wins, it's an incredible story and we get Conor/Max, which is just as big. hope Max is getting PAID for this, because he's really saving the UFC's a$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Great interview as always with Khabib. Everything he says can't help but be hilarious. When he keeps talking about Conor McGregor, calling him Burger King... god we need the buildup for that fight so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I can see it now... "Tell Khabib I'm going to put him away in te first tree minutes" "I don't know what he say, tell Burger King I don't understand his English" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were rumors before the Conor fight that Judah knocked Floyd down with a body shot. But if Zab did spar with Khabib, then it is certainly possible he knocked Khabib down. Regardless of how washed up Zab is now, he was still a world class boxer just going back three or four years ago and Khabib's boxing isn't exactly good.

11sanchez11 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Holloway's last 8 opponents have went 0 for 27 on takedown attempts. He hasn't been taken down since 2014. Tho Lamas is really the only high level wrestler he has faced in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
