Conor Mcgregor vs. Max Holloway 2 Prediction

Conor McGregor is making his return to the octagon this weekend to face Max Holloway in a rematch that took place back in 2013. In their first fight Conor was able to find success by landing more on the feet and getting key takedowns in rounds 2/3 ultimately winning a unanimous decision. This time around might be a whole different story.

Conor has been out of the sport for 5 years, leaving a lot of questions about how we will perform in his return. Meanwhile, Max has been active and fighting top competition during those 5 years. I believe Conor is always going to be dangerous early, especially with this fight being at 170 lbs. The best path to victory in this fight for McGregor would be to find an early KO.

The longer this fight goes, the more it favors the cardio and volume that Max Holloway is going to possess throughout the entire fight. With that being said, my prediction for this fight is that Max stays cautious of the danger McGregor brings early and wears him down over the course of 2/3 rounds and finds a finish.

Paddy Pimblett vs. Benoit Saint Denis Prediction

Paddy is making his return to the octagon this weekend after coming off a loss to the now undisputed lightweight champ, Justin Gaethje. In this matchup against BSD, I feel like violence is going to be guaranteed.

BSD is going to be pressuring forward looking to exploit the not-so-great takedown defense of Paddy Pimblett. On the feet I think both guys can hurt each other, but I trust the durability of Paddy more. While BSD may have some success in the grappling here, I feel like he is going to make a mistake & expose his neck at some point in the fight and that is where Paddy will take advantage and find a submission.

If the fight does happen to go long, I favor the guy who actually has some decision wins on his record. (BSD 0-1 in fights that have went to decision.) The value in this fight is on the underdog in my opinion, so give me Paddy Pimblett (13/10) to bounce back here and get the win.

UFC 329 Accumulator Tips

Gable Steveson Round 1 KO
Adrian Yanez by KO
Wang Cong to Win

Best price of 5/1 on Sky Bet.

Gable Steveson is going to way too much for Elisha to handle. As a 1/25 favorite, not much more needs to be said. This is going to be one way traffic.

Cody Garbrandt isn't the same fighter he used to be years ago. His chin has been compromised and Adrian Yanez should be able to land some damaging shots, eventually leading to a KO. It would be the 5th KO loss of Cody's career.

Cong nearly triples her opponent in significant strikes. She also has over an 80% takedown defense, which will be key in this fight. I think Cong is going to do the better work on the feet over the course of 3 rounds leading to a decision win or potential late finish.
