Max Holloway, DEC
Max Holloway is the younger, more successful fighter. Sure, he has a short series of defeats to Kattars winning streak. But I give this to Max.

I had my money on Dequan when Dusko fought him. And man, Dusko destroyed him. This guy is a future Hall of Famer.

Max Holloway, DEC
Amazing boxing match between a pair of elites at the division. Kattar has clean hands. So does Max. Tough one to predict. I think Max has more tools up his sleeve, and his volume boxing will be the difference over 25 fun minutes.
Simón vs. Kelleher
Ricky Simón, DEC
Close fight on paper. This card is full of em. I think Simon will use his superior wrestling to get a 30-27 scorecards across the board. Gotta admire Kelleher's activity however.
Elliott vs. Espinosa
Tim Elliott, DEC
Tim is a great fighter. Has amazing takedowns and awkward striking that sometimes manages to work. He will beat Jordan with ease.
Ponzinibbio vs. Salikhov
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R3
FINALLY Santiago is back. Holy ****. Hope to see him make a statement against the rising prospect Muslim Salikhov.
Tafa vs. Felipe
Carlos Felipe, DEC
Carlos is a solid boxer who can put together good combos. Tafa is just a powerhouse. Felipe by decision or knockout.
Moras vs. Melo
Sarah Moras, SUB, R1
I'm sorry, but HOW the hell is Melo still in the UFC??? She is 0-3, and is sloppy and terrible in every area! She must be sleeping with someone. It doesn't matter. Sarah sucks also, but she knows how to take people down and submit them so she will win. Melo and Cifers may be the worst current women UFC fighters out there. BUT as bad as Hannah is, at least she lost to STIFF competition.
Soriano vs. Todorović
Duško Todorović, TKO, R2
First of all, who in the world nicknames themself 'story time'? This is an MMA nickname, not a class in preschool. Back to the fight. Picking Dusko.

For me I know Max isn't going to wrestle or throw leg kicks. So, this is basically a K1 match with 4 oz gloves. And I cannot for the life of me decide who is the better of the two here.

Now, Kelvin's in higher than that and he also has low SLPM...but I don't think that's going to be the full story of the fight. This will probably come down to the judges and to put it simply I think Kattar is going to land the big **** that causes damage which will override the cumulative damage put out by Max. Holloway will probably get dropped or wobbled more than once. Kelvin hits really, really ******* hard and Max takes risks.
I just don't think anyone who wants to have a boxing match with Kelvin Kattar is going to have a fun night--even the great Max Holloway. Kelvin is a very good Boxer ( by MMA standards) and he's going to have 3 Inches of reach advantage. Max does have great conditioning but Kelvin gets better as the fight goes on.
Tldr: Holloway lands more but Kelvin lands the **** that matters for a UD. Or Max masterclasses him and has him hitting air all night.

If you can't be bother to read, Holloway is an all time great for a reason and I don't think he passed it or if he did not by much

And I know this is a hot take because Max is a fan favorite, but I didn't think either Volkanovski fight was a robbery. Both were really close fights where Volkanovski was landing more and doing more damage down the stretch both times.
