UFC 218: Holloway vs Aldo 2 Fantasy Recap

Related Topics: UFC 218

If there were any questions remaining from Max Holloway's first win over Jose Aldo, the reigning featherweight champion answered them in the rematch on Saturday night at UFC 218 in Detroit.

In his first title defense against the man he beat to win the belt, Holloway put on a masterful performance, in many ways outdoing his last outing against Aldo as he dominated from bell to bell before getting a third-round finish once again.

Aldo definitely looked ready to fight, just like the last time, but Holloway was brimming with confidence as he stalked the Brazilian around the Octagon, throwing combinations in succession and constantly popping the former champion with long jabs and then following up with hard punches to the head and body.
