Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier

PUBLICITY:

Although both fighters are coming off losses in title fights, Max Holloway is in better form. The 'BMF' champion is more adapted to the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg) and this could mean more difficulty for 'The Diamond'. The scenario is different from when the two faced off for the interim title in the category, and the current context shows an advantage for the Hawaiian.

Prediction: Max Holloway wins , with odds of 1,68 at Stake.

Although the two fighters are in very different form, this fight is likely to develop. Borrachinha isn't easily knocked out, a characteristic also displayed by his opponent. The duel should feature plenty of striking, but the takedown will likely be difficult. However, Kopylov currently boasts a stronger arsenal and repertoire. The Russian is likely to prevail in a longer fight.

Prediction: Roman Kopylov to win by more than 2,5 rounds, with odds of 1,85 at Stake.
