UFC 236: Max Holloway v. Dustin Poirier

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Max Holloway (USA)

Dustin Poirier (USA)

 

Current odds:

Max Holloway: (-225)

Dustin Poirier: (+187)

 

• Holloway is clearly the better striker, and that’s not a knock on Poirier. Dustin is the heavier hitter, whereas Holloway is more accurate and drowns you with his volume.

• The other key is durability. Poirier has been stopped a couple of times before but has otherwise shown himself to be very hard to put away. Holloway has arguably never been badly hurt in any of his UFC fights.

• Holloway can get clipped up moving backwards early in fights, and caught off guard by wild offense late when opponents get desperate to stem the ever-increasing tide of punches coming their way. Poirier is good at lunging into the pocket with power, but also puts himself at his greatest defensive risk doing so.
