Next weekend, we have the highly anticipated Conor McGregor Vs. Max Holloway fight.
I feel this is a tough out for Conor as he will need a KO within probably the first two round to win or he will get gassed and finished. Conor is packing on the muscle and this will be at 170 which should benefit Conor but it's still not a match-up that favors Conor either way.
