The first fight was decently competitive up to the point where he got brutalized. I'll still watch it.

That's actually the best possible late replacement fight they could have made so it's really cool.

Can't see anything but Aldo getting hosed up again though.

BAEST MODE!!!
I can't believe UFC has stooped so low as make their late replacement the greatest featherweight of all time getting a rematch. Laughable.

maybe the 2nd fight will be 1 sided in holloways favour like round 3 of the first fight was but i wonder about that

He is, but we saw that fight so a new matchup is better than a rematch.

actually we know from both edgar / aldo fights and cruz / garbrandt, winning 2 rounds is actually a humiliation and the fighter should be embarrassed. however neither of those resulted in the guy who won two rounds getting brutally ko'd so i don't know what that makes this.

Cruz got horrifically embarrassed during the garbrandt fight. Coming back to steal the last round was cool but Cody was clowning on him from pillar to post.
I agree with the rest of what you said so. I guess I'm just being an rear end in a top hat

Including WEC, this will be Aldo's 14th consecutive title fight, which I think has got to be good for the record, no?

I think Holloway will do better in this fight than the last one. But you can't ever count Aldo out.

Not only did he get choked out he almost got knocked out by GSP. This seems like a ridiculously stupid thing to do from a health standpoint.

Also I just looked and there’s a Ultimate Fighter finale in 3 weeks that appears to have 4 fights booked for it and the championship match. Wonder if they’re moving to doing no prelims at all for ultimate fighter finales.

Edgar didn't win a single round of their second fight.

all three judges disagree :D

regardless, he didn't get knocked out in humiliating fashion so it's a moral victory. max holloway was acting as an agent of fate for the real GOAT, frank edgar.

he needs to mix in some wrestling. if he wants to just straight kickbox with max the exact same thing will happen - aldo will do great for a couple of rounds and as soon as he lets his foot off the gas holloway will kill him

Max had the better plan but I don't think he is some level of skill or ability beyond Aldo so I think it will be a really good fight. Max's coaches do make insanely good gameplans he's super great at sticking to though.
