I dont think it will be close, JJ usually gets hit a lot, doesnt seem to have a very good distance awareness, and Valentina is a master here
true. but we'll see. excited for this one nonetheless

Good comeback by Rakic... I almost lost everything in the first fight.
Good comeback by Ferreira...
And... Laprise gets knocked out with a nice hook that didn't have a ton of power on it... My night is over on DraftKings. Hopefully my televised-only teams win...

Shevchenko beat JJ like I thought she would.
The size, strength, and grappling were too much.

I think Max wins here, barring any long-term CTE that would affect how he usually fights

Yeah my god that needed to stop 1 round ago. He wasn't defending himself and just looked so out of it already, that was just pure heart

Damn Ortega has so much heart. Max will need to move up for him to face real challenges, no one can hurt him at 145. I expected max to win, but i didn't expect such dominance.
james9994: make note dont play against floofy, ;(

That performance really does shut the door on 145'ers beating him for now. Underrated strength/pop and as accurate as he's ever been. With his usual durability, length and cardio...nightmare for 45'ers. Like a 2018 Frankie Edgar getting the shot vs tonight's Max would've been a massacre. Hopefully they don't somehow still do that
Even though he'd always be a big dog, at least people can start to imagine him vs Khabib as a real fight soon. Some possibly poor matchups but also some high reward, winnable matchups too at 155 for Max

Unfortunately the division is now cleared out. I dont see how anyone can challenge Holloway atm, he s just on another level. I hope he moves to lightweight, but that would be hard considering how much money is involved in that division with Khabib/McGregor/Diaz/Ferguson... doubt Holloway can make such a fuss to get shottons of PPVs.
Actually Zabit is coming up strong in the division, but doubt they give him a title shot right now.

How about El Cucuy vs Holloway? Throwing Holloway in at the LW division just makes for a ton of crazy matchups.
Askren vs Khabib
Holloway vs Ferguson vs Kevin Lee - these three vs any of the two above
Conor vs any LW who's not a wrestling monster
LW could probably generate 10 million ppvs combined
I even forgot Cowboy Cerrone who also wants to throw his hat in there at LW

I'd rather see Ferguson vs Khabib, as would anyone I'd suppose and Holloway vs McGregor/Diaz, although I feel like Diaz would end up losing in points, Holloway would be a much smarter McGregor in that fight.
McGregor should've lost the 2nd fight w Diaz as well imo. In terms of entertainment Holloway vs McGregor would be best, in terms of actual skills Holloway vs Diaz imo

Holloway vs Ferguson would also be cool, their styles are so alike, it would be such an epic fight but as Spitfire said it would make more sense to fight Conor and let Khabib fight Ferguson
