Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier Odds & Tips UFC 236
What is there to say about Max Holloway that hasn’t already been said? At just 27 years old, Holloway is currently making his case for the title of greatest featherweight of time with two dominant wins over Jose Aldo in 2017.
Now, Holloway has his sights set on the title of best pound-for-pound fighter and is moving around 155 pounds to become only the fourth double champion in UFC history.
Holloway’s sport is all about pace and pressure. He places among the highest paces from the featherweight division, throwing about 15 strikes per minute and hammering opponents under his persistent volume.
Even when a fighter could find the better of him early on, as Aldo did in both of their battles, few are able to remain blow for blow with Holloway as the struggle drags into the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
In many respects, Poirier is comparable. “The Diamond” also functions at a high pace, with combination striking. Where the two differ though is that while Max has electricity and can hurt opponents, his finishes usually arrive as a result of injury.
Poirier, in contrast, is among the only hardest blow-for-blow punchers in the lightweight division. He doesn’t have to land many strikes to hurt an opponent as his litany of UFC wins shows. Poirier also is a more ready grappler compared to Holloway.
