    One of the most disrespectful ass whoopings of all time. When your opponent has to remind you to remember your fundamentals in the middle of the fight, you’re gettin molly whopped.

    This fight was a first glimpse of what Max in his prime looks like. When you can't stop his jab and rhythm he snowballs into a combination puncher and looks like a world beater. We now know from the Volkanovski and Rodriguez fights that its imperative you don't let him do this.

    Even thinking about the fight with Volk, you can recall the improvements in Ortega's striking. His striking looked much sharper in his second title fight than it did here. It is noticeable, even if in both he ended up getting the crap kicked out of him.

Combined punches everywhere.. body head.. Footwork is very good, holloway never stood too wide.. i see holloway struggle with kicking guys more then with bjj.. Blessed is a real good all-around guy.. But maybe too tall and Lanky for some fighters with kicks and Solid wrestling
