Stylistically this is an excellent fight. The X-factor here, IMO, is Frankie's wrestling.
Holloway is a longer, and more dynamic all-around striker. But Frankie's technical boxing is on a higher level.
Frankie also has better footwork - very dexterous, agile feet. He is able to hop in and out of range very quick, and he takes excellent, and awkward angles.
I can't wait for this fight. Maybe it's just me really wanting Frankie to win, and see him become one of the only 2-weight champs in UFC history, but I'm favoring Edgar here.
He turned back the clock AND SOME against who I consider an even better, and more dynamic striker in Yair Rodriguez.
Conor dominated Max in clinches and wrestling, and made him look physically weak.
WAR FRANKIE! AND THE NEW! 2-WEIGHT WORLD CHAMP!
