Max Holloway Reveals How He’s Preparing To Beat Ilia Topuria At UFC 308…

[@Devdogs]

I remember watching you fight Conor McGregor… I was thinking damn this kid is pretty good too. I never would’ve imagined you would become one of the GOATs and a legend. Congrats on all the success bud

[@ppvplug3940]

Same, I knew he was a tough durable guy cause Conor was knocking guys clean out and he landed multiple left hands on max that would’ve sat the rest of the division down

[@ematheson558]

What makes that special is how mcgregor was finishing everyone except max at the time

[@untamedpastina5]

bro was calling him kid when he was fighting connor mcgregor 😂

He’s that guy for me too been a fan for like 10 years when he was a young fighter I would never go against him I’m rooting for him all the time but illia is a tough guy as well of course I got max but anything is possible it’s MMA

[@Smellydoug]

One of the best to ever do it

[@msizinkosi3481]

I don't think Max can go "strike for strike" with Topuria, he is way too technical. So Max absolutely has to be chaotic in there to throw Toupria off his technical game. Any one of them can win depending who can impose their gameplan, Topuria will be looking to keep it clean and technical and Max has to make it dirty to stand a chance, the more chaos he can put in the mix the more chances Topuria will make a mistake (in the midst of the chaos) the more chances Max will get to capitalize on those mistakes.

[@CMLoveLust]

It's true lol I think it's got a similar aura to the Calvin Kattar fight where Calvin was being praised for his sound boxing fundamentals. It didn't do him well when he had to survive the tornado of chaos Max's boxing brings. It's unpredictable unless you figure out the rhythm the way Poirier and Volk did. Max's glaring weakness are fighters with high MMA IQ who make adjustments to Max's style. I think Max has the advantage on the ground only cause I think Topuria has one of those fake black belts that Islam makes fun of. His wrestling fundamentals are what I think will give Max the most issues

[@PLVS_VLTRA09]

I hope to see an epic fight, being you guys such tremendous fighters. There's a lot of hype about this match and it's easily understandable why. If Ilia wins, he would've defeated such a legend of the UFC. Being this one his first title defense, it's gonna give him the credentials and respect in case he doesn't already have it. But if Max wins, regain his belt against an undefeated heavy puncher as Ilia, coming from the performance of the UFC 300, no better way to close the year. All my admiration and respect from Spain. You have been through ups and downs during your career, i wonder how ilia is going to respond after everything he has been talking about so far. May the best win!

[@malvarez8484]

Topuria might want to showcase his ground game, he’s been standup his last few fights. I think he wants to show the world how complete he is. Illia is going to take him to the deep ocean, make him think about the beautiful waters of Hawaii

bad idea, illa will probably gass himself out if he tries that against a guy like max holloway

[@Dronefishha]

@@malvarez8484 yeah it’s 50/50 max knows he’s dangerous and I bet Topuria knows aswell. I think this is max and Topurias hardest fights for sure. Max is a volume puncher, but Topuria does have destruction in both his hands. But max understands that. It will be Awesome fight either way. I have it max by decision but not a boring fight I feel like they’re both got really good chins and both are young and dangerous. Volk getting knocked out by Topuria was because volks wear and tear and always taking fights and pushing himself too much with the cuts and the knock out loss to Islam. Where as max had an amazing fight against Justin and had gone straight into camp cutting slowly and is looking sharp and really healthy in his videos. If you look at max in volk vs max 3 he was drained and angry and that was max holloways worst fight imo. It’s a really good matchup and may the best man win at the end of the day. And to go to there loved ones healthy.

[@amiddletown]

Imo Topuria went to the next level spending more energy and money to get more tech, more professional training and team and a sharper mentality. I really think topuria is on another level but cant wait to see the confirmation Oct26
