Loved this presser. The khabib roars are crazy! Max seems pretty confident, but also can sense he’s the underdog. I wonder how much weight he’s going to have to cut, he actually looks bigger that khabib... he’s a huge 145. I think max might walk around at like 175-180. Khabib looks pretty gaunt but hell be fine. If khabib takes max down I’m not sure what max can do... standing he will smash him tho! That’s why I would have loved to see Tony off his back vs khabib ontop... ah well.. it’sssss (almost) timmmeeeee!!!
Joanna looks really low on energy, really gaunt and kind of in a bad way.... maybe 115 is too small for her now... let’s hope she’s at her best!
Who you got?
I’m going to go with a crazy prediction of max Holloway win big upset, and Joanna to beat rose down! Who knows, but I’m sticking with that haha!

I'm picking the same. I have a feeling Max Holloway does something crazy and keeps it standing. Very much like Robert Whittaker was against Yoel Romero. A legendary performance no one expects.
Rose has some downsides and caught Joanna big first time around. I think Joanna is the better striker in general and it should pay off.

I'm so on the fence with both fights it's crazy,. I keep thinking the same about Max, he's got something up his sleeve to keep this fight going the way he wants it to. I actually forgot about that gameplan whittaker used against Romero, If max can pull that off, it will be one insane night. I think Joanna is going to take the win, she looks a bit ropey, but no more than any fighter does during the cut, I was listening to her nutritionist on a podcast, and he was saying it's legit her best cut ever, she's completely on point, I think she takes it, but of course Rose could pull the shocker yet again.

It's a good time to be a European MMA guy :D.
A great press conference with some extremely likeable characters. Khabib has everything down perfectly. He's not the stoic Russian character that makes it hard for fans to relate. But he still has the strong accent and represents a lot of Russian fighters and has the country behind him. His comedy, with his broken English and terrifying fighting skills, legend.

It's crazy isn't it? He's a star for sure, you're completely right about his accent and humour, It's perfect for someone as dangerous as him, fuck it's a great time to be a European MMA fan.
