Fight Island will host the featherweight championship fight between Alexander Volkanovski (21-1) and Max Holloway (21-5). Six months is little time for the former champ Holloway to make the adjustments needed. It’s surprising to think that people were looking past Volkanovski as a challenger to Holloway’s throne. The good analysts at MMASucka were not.
Holloway vs. Volkanovski
Max Holloway is a fighter who uses movement and volume to tire his opponents. Holloway needs to control the momentum of a fight and keep his opponents working. Volkanovski was able to neutralize this mainly by interrupting Holloway’s movement and forcing him back.
