      Yair Rodriguez VS the Korean guy (I'm a MMA casual) was a way better fight.

        His punches aren't all that hard to read, but the speed at which he delivers them and the way he puts his body into them just fuks guys up. Even when they get a good shot into him, he's still on their ass and doesn't let up. Great lateral movement and varied defense. Such a great fighter to watch.

        How do you see a Ferguson vs. Holloway fight ending?

          I don't like the idea of Holloway at 155. Yea, he's spidery and could even be considered big for his class, but he's a naturally thin guy and I don't think he's got the natural muscularity to grapple at 155. He's at least a talented as Ferguson, but he's not as big and that would show. Maybe in a couple years when his body naturally starts putting on weight.

            Agree with Redd. I really like both guys & both guys have shown great talent & versatile strategies, but I think the size decides the winner with those two. I don't like the idea of Max fighting Khabib either. I think that'll be a matter of Khabib getting Max on the floor & f#cking up his day more & more from then on. If Max can keep Khabib off him for the full 25 minutes he wins, but I don't see him doing that.

                  Ferguson's elbows and unorthodox style would be a real problem for Max. I don't see it ending well for him.
