Cyborg is a skilled fighter but I don't have a lot of respect for her career that was built on doing steroids and battering people way smaller than her.

This is well said and exactly where I stand.
Like I feel bad when we poo poo on her because she has worked hard and gone through some rough patches, but it wasn't all the most honest way to take that journey.

I mean I imagine he takes it away from Aldo because Aldo was beat twice by Holloway. I imagine Joes 145 top 3 is like Holloway, Aldo then McGregor.

If you want to say Holloway is the best because he beat Aldo that logic still doesn't work, in that case it would have to be Conor because he beat both of them

I'm pretty sure he's talked about that a bunch and says that while Aldo's long reign is impressive the actual performances that Holloway puts on seem better to him. And he directly lost to Max twice :shrug:

I think Max has to beat Edgar than then Volk before we crown him best. Aldo cleaned out the Division while being in top forever. Max hasn't cleaned it out yet.

Max is very very good, but I don't think he'll last anywhere close to what Aldo did on top.

I'm sure the actual strike numbers would make me look like an idiot, but I give that to Edgar? That said, I expect Max to take over.

That uppercut is coming looping from the bottom from a distance where Frankie's straight punches are just too far to land, I think

Frankie has never had fantastic head movement he's more relied on angling his entire body and his pace. Holloway is just as quick to cut an angle and just as quick.

Schenck v. U.S.

Holloway is doing a good job maintaining his range, Frankie isn't finding takedowns, and when it comes to striking Frankie's best weapon is combinations from boxing distance which is the worst thing to do against Max. R1 looked bad for Edgar.
