Agree @fish. I always been big on Aldo and it’s a shame they never fought at both their primes. That said, Max is the best feather weight of all time, IMO. 

I’m not a big ranking andp4p guy but I’m not sure who’s a better fighter right now than Max Holloway right now at any weight.

@Freemoney Max would smoke Conor now. Conor is the same fighter he always was, but Max...well, now he's something else.

I'm up for Max at 155. I think he'd give a lot of people big problems. Maybe only Khabib beats him.

Well that fight ******* delivered. Holy ****. Max should get fighter of the year.

Props to Ortega. He defines the term 'Heart'. Not sure what's next for him, but I think he probably beats anyone not named Holloway, which isn't a great position to be in.

Great night of fights overall.

Holy crap. What a great fight. So much fun! These two are gonna go at it again at some point down the road. Young, hungry, and the two best fighters in the division. Yeah, it'll happen again.

Holloway's performance might be the best I've seen by a champ in some time. Man that was great.

I can't believe Max was the dog. Good lord.

Just looked at the stats and apparently Holloway hit Ortega more times in the 4th than Oretga hit him in the entire fight.

My picks were ****-king stank garbage.. The worst ever... Even still.. Thiágo Santos. Youuuuu made my night! Also just putting it out there, I think this "new" Max Holloway destroys McGregor. But I could be as badly wrong as I was with my picks tonite

Not only would Max Holloway beat Mcgregor, but Brian Ortega would beat Mcgregor.

Jeeeez those are huuuuge wins for Ansaroff, and Nelson, or no???? 

edit just when i saw ppv 60$ it made me think of this there

guys if you have 50 bucks or so to spare try to grab some Łitecoin and or Digibyte (and btc / edit and DASH coin) and HODL Hardd, not sure how low prices will go, but sorry try also to buy a Trezor or Ledger Nano hardware wallet beforehand to store your private keys  (your priv. keys are basically your life/ballz with this stuff seriously dont dilly dally around in this regard no keys no money dont ever share keys) (**cold storage coins another potential safe wallet not sure bout this one though) 

not trying to tell people what to do just feel like something tellin me to send this message if theres a computer tech expert here that can squash me please do that , each has to do their own due dilligence in research and preparation for this shiz, but just wanted to share that , also im not 100% but SONM tokens may be another great opp. but again i dont know if they (SONM) will be here with their tokens in 5, 10 years time, i dont know, just passing some info and 2 cents  ( again if theres a tech whizz here better informed and educated on the topic (crypto currency) than me please put me in my place/ squash me)

but i knew Nelson would win in my heart but man Brazilian Cowboy is beeaaaaaaast man seriously that guy is "one of those" fighters you know the really tuff ruff salty ones guy is world class you know who else who else 

also since
its Canada day shoutout to "Financial Turmoil Explained"  / "The Delta Report" channel on youtube guy is salt of the Earth decent Canadian guy i learned way more from him for free than in business and economics in high skool 

another source for the other stuff is Mike Maloney on youtube , noteable is that he is actually dyslexic and was basically wrote off as a ______ in his mainstream education years but he definitly proved them wrong (i think?)

( Maidsafe coin / Monero / Cloakcoin / NEO / Omise Go / (other?..) also worth a looking into, il fcuk off now anyway! peace)

im a bit fckin wired guys too rite now been playing Red Dead 2 for most of the last 48 odd hours plus on ps4 its like an interactive documentary almost for me at least, a cheap one at least ( cheap as in not cheap at all best doc eva or one of)
