It's official, Max "blessed" Holloway replaced Tony Ferguson to fight "the eagle" Khabib Nurmagomedov. Good thing that Max was able to save the card because a lot of fans got disappointed when Tony pulled out because of a nasty injury.
This is probably the shortest time table for a fighter to prepare. Max Hollloway has only six days to prepare against a beast opponent in the name of Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib is so confident that he can beat max, according to him.. he will give max a hard time for five rounds, that's if Max can last that long. Khabib is pointing out that Max has a very short time to prepare for him and that Max is only looking for a lucky punch,
We all know that Max's best strategy is to tire his opponents out and make them quit, Khabib is so confident that Max will not be able to do what he has done against Aldo, Pettis and any other opponents against him, he said that he prepared for this fight for three months and Max is only drinking beers and travelling last week so Max has no time to prepare for this fight.
According to Max Holloway, he is prepared and ready to take the title, he said that he is fighting for legacy not money, Khabib is always pointing out that Max is only fighting for money and there is only a slight chance that Max can beat him, he said that Max Holloway is not ready for this fight.
Khabib is an outstanding wrestler and he can take anyone down, he has a relentless cardio, his pressure is suffocating but we all know that Max Holloway loves pressure and he has an outstanding cardio too, we will see on UFC 223 who is the real king of UFC, if Max Holloway won this fight then he is the first fighter who have two championship belts who were able to defend one of his belt. Conor McGregor was able to win two belts at the same time but hasn't defended any of his belt.
