Tom Aspinall predicts McGregor KO over Holloway!
UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall believes Conor McGregor's power and renewed mindset will be enough to stop Max Holloway in the opening round.
We’ve been hearing a lot lately about the fight between Max Holloway and Conor McGregor, and most people see Max Holloway as the clear favorite. But now, UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has spoken up on YouTube and shared his take on the fight. Tom Aspinall says he’s been following Conor McGregor closely and has watched all of his interviews. He mentions that he thinks Conor McGregor is in a really good place, especially when it comes to his mental health. Because of this, he’s betting that Conor McGregor will score a very quick knockout. He also talks about what many consider the most crucial factor in the fight: Conor McGregor’s break. Tom Aspinall knows that this means Conor McGregor isn’t in top form, but he emphasizes that Max Holloway isn’t either.
“He’s beat Max Holloway before. Max Holloway, in my opinion, really, really good fighter, neither of them are the same fighter that they were like 10 years ago.”
said Tom Aspinall.
He sees both fighters as evenly matched, especially given Max Holloway’s recent loss to Charles Oliveira. The only aspect he highlights is the difference in strength. In that regard, he sees Conor McGregor as clearly ahead, and for him, that’s the deciding factor.
"Like, he just needs one shot and it can be over. So, I’m more favoring towards a McGregor win. I think Conor McGregor Round one knockout. I think he’s going to land the big left bomber on him."
he says.
Tom Aspinall is in the minority with his prediction, as most people are betting on a win by Max Holloway. His recent interviews likely changed his mind because of Conor McGregor’s very calm and confident demeanor.
It remains to be seen whether Conor McGregor will live up to this role. However, the UFC star seems certain that Conor McGregor will emerge victorious from the fight.
I have to say, I agree with Tom Aspinall’s prediction. I know what kind of fighter Max Holloway is, but somehow I have a feeling that Conor McGregor is bringing so much momentum and motivation into this fight thanks to his comeback that it could be really tough for Max Holloway. I don’t want to rule out the possibility that Max Holloway could win in the end, but I actually see Conor McGregor as the slight favorite.
