  1. I'm taking Ortega. I think this guy is the real deal and looks big for the division

  2. No question Max is the superior boxer but Ortega is capable to inflict damage and garner respect with his punches. And no question Ortega is better on the ground. So I say Ortega. But then again i also bet against Stipe. Lol.

  3. Max is the favorite folks make no mistake he has that belt for a reason…gonna be a great fight though!

  4. This is the thing. Ortega brings a different type of pressure, he slows down fast paced pressure fighters. Max Holloway is a monster! We all know that. I can’t wait for this fight, right up there with khabib Ferguson

  5. T-City has jits on a level no one in the featherweight division can come close to.

  6. Another thing I like about this fight is Max is a big dude too, Ortega is a pretty big guy. Either of them could fight at 155 easily and be comfortable. Max has said he'd like to fight Tony or Khabib, and Brian also said he'd like to go to 155 if he wins. I like that the size aspect is out of the question regarding this fight it's neutral, Brian dwarfed Frankie. I think Max will have the better 5 round pace, but at the same time late into the fight it'll be dangerous if Brian gets a limb at anytime. Max and Tony have a serious pace, even Nate and Nick those guys don't wear out. I'd like to see Max fight Tony though.
