UFC 240: Holloway vs. Edgar

I think Max is gonna start pouring it on in the second half of this third round, I think it’s gonna start going downhill for Frankie here in the third especially if Max stuffs another takedown early in the round.


Let’s see what happens

Edgar can't get inside. Guy is too small and his jabs and punches are short ranged as fuck.

its crazy how Max has paced himself this fight.
1-9? on takedowns

...Ok Max we know you love this shit, time to go a bit harder now.

Oh shit, its about to go down. I got a feeling.

I feel like Max is just waiting for the perfect time to go kamikaze blitz.

Fourth round was going well for Frankie until the end, but I dunno if it was enough.

Either 4-0 Max or 3-1 Max. I think Frankie needs a finish

EL lurking like a ninja.
I hope Max can get this KO... That would be nice.


His Jab is devastating, Max waiting till the clock is a 10 then gonna go for the KO at 1 second left in the 5th


Max lol like a PhD

IMHO it’s 5-0 Max but I’ll give Frankie a courtesy round and call it 49-46. I think if not for the threat of takedowns, Max would have unleashed a lot more in the final rounds. He played it smart instead and stayed in control of the distance and pace.

Max can turnaround pretty quickly from that. Didn’t absorb a crazy amount of real damage.

It was possibly 3-2 at worst but definitely most likely 4-1 if you consider the take down less important.

Either way, I feel bad for Frankie. His voice and the defeat was all over him

People in the MMA subreddit saying it was 3-1 Frankie going into the final round. Nice reminder why that place fucking sucks. Nice performance from Max though.
 
The division is a mess. Aldo signed an 8 fight contract before fighting volkanoski. Ortega & Korean zombie scrapping on Instagram. Yair doesn't want Zabit & he's protecting kunlun

After Max beats Volk he should fight some nearer his size, then hat unfortunately might humiliate him.


If in doubt look, a it up and see what that kind of upbringing will deliver.

Had good convoys and lols with TrainedRage TrainedRage and hhee who shl not be named (soz), see you all next week or in the general thread. Night.

Like I can see why they would say that. I scored it 3-1 Holloway. I do think that Frankie landed a lot of punches and was going for the scoring game. However, Max played him all the time and was more effective with his striking in all but 1 round

Holloway looks basically undamaged. Be good if he can make October

Felicia did real good last night. A hell of a lot better than I expected, although I still don't think the UFC had any business putting her in a cage with Cyborg. 145 is dead so she's going to have to go down to get the experience she needs. Especially if she wants to face Nunes. Cyborg's free now so hopefully she'll go to Bellator or One after the rematch.

I can't. Not only did Max land more shots per round, except 1. He was much more accurate. He also defended 14 of 15 takedowns. A 50-45 makes more sense than giving Frankie 2 rounds.

This isn't one fighting(OFC). You are judging it like their judging. VERY different. Every UFC fan knows that this is by round basis and the winner wins overall. Not just by grand performance.

I think Felicia blew everyones expectations out of the water. Did you see those vegas odds?

I'm sorry, but are you stupid? Holloway outlanded him 4 of the 5 rounds while throwing a higher volume and landing with higher accuracy. He also defended every takedown with the exception of one. I'm going by round to round stats.

What metric can you use to say Edgar won that fight?

I've watched her previous fights and it seemed like she relied on rear chokeholds most of the time, which was never going to work with Cyborg. I guess the bookies thought the same. She did real good going 3 rounds and made a lot of fans

The hostility is unbelievable. You are being beyond stupid right now. I literally said earlier that I thought it was 4-1 earlier(technically wrote 3-1 in favor of Holloway but meant to put 4-1). That was my personal judging in favor of it. You are literally acting a fool acting over your poor reading comprehension. I do not think Edgar won. Stop trying to make an argument/look for one from someone that is stating something you actually would agree with if you actually read what was being written.

There is more to vegas odds than just winning the fight in general since there is on the type of loss and how close it is. UFC promo video showed her as a submission specialist. She didn't seem to have any real power from her highlight reel clips. She definitely got my respect. Granted I cannot see her being a champ unless she goes more of the Demian Maia route and becomes a God at BJJ
