UFC 206: Holloway v Pettis (Interim Featherweight Title)

JoeyJJ

There should be a stipulation about hiring someone to help him get down and make him show up twice in the next 4 months on a given date to weight in, **** him if he wants to go down make him show he is willing to do it and make it hard for him. His opponents deserve it.

Did Pettis hire someone to help? I doubt it, clown on embedded having a steak with an egg on top and sides and misses weight.

Even if he gets his act together, a does it right, he'll still be 20lbs over throughout camp. There's no way to know if he's going to do the final cut right until he is actually doing it.

You'd be wrong, he hired somebody.
The guy with him in embedded was a weight management specialist.

I read ( mma junkie i think) he just gave himself that job and that isnt his expertise.

Pretty much. He owns a supplement company. Wrestled when he was younger.
I called him out on it here prior to the fight as I think he doesn't know what he's talking about.

But he's being paid for this service, somehow.

Have to say I've seen a lot of people criticize Holloway for not mentioning McGregor more but I find it refreshing that he doesnt go out running his mouth about Conor at every oppurtunity hes on his own journey whooping ass and collecting belts no begging for money fights hard not to be a fan.

Exactly I agree 100%.

Do you think if he keeps winning and blowing through people in the future they might do him v Conor?

Yeah its very possible even at 155 in a year or 2 if he keeps winning, only gone 25 Aldo is no cake walk but I think he beats him, the likes of Aldo Edgar Mendes the 3 best at 145 aint gonna be around in prime condition for much longer so he could be champion for some time.

Agree also hard not to be a fan a very hard grafter met him in Dublin never dwelled on the fact hed lost to Conor didn't appear to give 2 sh1ts seemingly that's a refreshing outlook even in more public interviews he's alluded that both were carrying knocks but the victor wasn't unwarranted. Have to get behind a UFC in Hawaii too they should do that for a guy on a 10 fight winning streak who was drafted into top billing for an on paper diminished PPV.

A Max rematch with Conor is a better story to sell that Aldo. I have to feel the UFC would like to see Max win and push for the rematch after 11 wins.

Holloway is a great fighter and I love watching his fights but I just cant warm to him, there's something annoying about him.

As a massive Holloway fan I can honestly say his belt must be the fakest title ever handed out in the UFC, he beat an overweight 5th ranked guy to get a belt what an absolute joke it is when you think of it.

No actually coming from WEC or Stirkeforce as champion to head a new division is 100 times more legit than that 206 joke of a title fight.

opinions differ but if the prize could be called the chance to fight Aldl then i think it was a nice warm up

i reckon aldo beats holloway and then retires

I'd expect that from the Trolls who show up for McGreggor events.
But you sure watched UFC 200.
