Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway - Prediction
Prediction: Max Holloway 60% confidence
Winner: Max Holloway
Method: Decision (Unanimous)
Round: 5
Summary and Final Prediction
This fight will likely hinge on whether Topuria can bring the fight to the ground and control Holloway. Topuria’s power and grappling are dangerous, and he could win with a submission or ground-and-pound if he controls Holloway early. However, Holloway’s experience, striking volume, cardio, and fight IQ make him difficult to control for an entire fight, especially in the later rounds. Holloway’s conditioning and adaptability in long fights give him a slight edge in this five-round contest.
If Topuria can secure takedowns and hold control for multiple rounds, he could win a decision or finish by submission. But given Holloway’s ability to survive, wear opponents down, and find range as fights progress, the prediction leans toward Holloway winning by decision.

just wanted to update this thread because this card is too good to pass. doesn't look good when these great fighters are hyped and wants to KO each other and would like to claim $50k from Mr White yet their fights ends in UD. its too ahead of time though so maybe there will be KO or Sub.
