GDT: UFC on ABC: Holloway vs. Kattar

[I am not exposed]

Not FOTY guys. Sheesh.

 

[Sheppy]

That, well... that’s brain damage.

 

[chicagoskycam]

It’s more his corner should stop it than Herb

At the end of the 4th yes, but Herb should have stopped it when he was stumbling and just taking like 50 unanswered strikes against the fence. There was nothing more we needed to see, and Kattar didn't need to take that damage.

This is nowhere near FOTY worthy. This is mainly a one-sided ass whooping. FOTN, sure. FOTY, I hope not.

Agreed. Performance of the year is possible if that's a real thing.

I was cringing hard watching that 4th round. Didn’t like that Kattar kept throwing back and landing one for every 10

Great card.

i think that was the only time he could have stopped it but he let it go. He was still defending and throwing strikes off the cage. The corner needs to look at the overall abuse he sustained over the fight.

he never was knocked down, he was defending himself. It’s a hard one

Max said he will fill in next week lol

 

[YNWA14]

They're going to give Holloway a LW title shot it seems. I love it.

 

[NinjaKick]

as perfect as a performance as you can get...

mad props to Kattar... hes as tough and resilient as a zombie

 

[CDJ]

That was wild

Holloway was preposterously good. Lit him on fire

 

[Moncherry]

This was probably the best free card that I can remember, better than a lot of PPVs I've watched.

 

[CDJ]

UFC gotta be happy with how that card on ABC went, sheeeeeeeeeesh

I bet the boys got a good pump up speech lol

 

[LSCII]

Jesus Christ that was brutality of the highest magnitude. He savaged Kattar. I felt bad by the 2nd round and it just got worse. Love Max though. He just kept going and going.

 

[Killahpunk]

Max was fire!

 

[Byron Bitz]

I’d like to see take another run at LW and run it back with Poirier and or McGregor

He won that last fight and it was a f***ing joke they gave it to Volkanovski.

 

[pistolpete11]

I expected Max to win, but damn. Max and Volk are just on a different level than the rest of the division.

Maybe Volk gets stopped by Ortega or something because I don't if he has the same chin as Max, but other than some fluke thing like that, these 2 guys are the only competition for each other.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Missed all but the last fight, from the sounds of it I should go back and watch the rest of the card later tonight.

I guess Kattar got 50k for getting his ass whipped for 5 rounds.

700 strikes thrown in 1500 seconds.

I expected Max to win, but damn. Max and Volk are just on a different level than the rest of the division.

I had their first fight a draw and the second a clear cut win for Max. Volk is good, but I think Max is elite.

Agreed. Performance of the year is possible if that's a real thing.

I remember some MMA sites used to have "Beatdown of the Year" and I can't think of a better way to describe it. Just a thrashing by Max and an incredible performance.

I usually wouldn't have interest in a trilogy with one guy up 2-0, but Holloway sure is testing me with that win.

I think Kattar and Ortega both give a tougher fight to Volk than they did to Max. Stylistically Volk is almost a perfect foil to Max and I still think that Max won the 2nd fight.

Just based on what Max said at the end I think they're going to give him the LW title shot after this fight because they don't want to set up Max vs. Volk 3 right now. Personally I'd love to see Holloway fight either of those 2 again; I think he wins both. I don't want to say he took Poirier lightly but...

His corner let him down big time. Took unnecessary shots at the end that he didn't need to eat.

 

[m9]

Won't see many 50-42 scorecards in the UFC. Wonder if that's the first.

Agreed. That wasn't a fight of the year. That was a one sided destruction. Credit to Kattar for taking it, but maaaaaaaan that was ugly.
