Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of talk online about a hypothetical Holloway vs. McGregor rematch. I decided to put my own spin on it, see how it might play out, using, you know, what I know about their styles.
First, I started by rewatching their first fight. It’s been a while, so I needed a refresher. Man, that was a different McGregor back then, and Holloway was just a kid!
Then, I looked at their recent fights. Holloway’s striking volume and cardio are just insane now. And McGregor? Still dangerous, still got that power, but he’s been way less active.
My Little Simulation (Just for Fun!)
- Round 1: I figured McGregor would come out strong, trying to land that left hand early. Holloway would probably weather the storm, use his footwork, and try to establish his jab.
- Round 2: I imagined Holloway starting to pick up the pace, throwing more combinations, working the body. McGregor might start to slow down a bit, looking for that one big shot.
- Round 3 and beyond :I think the fight will be more *’s pressure would really start to take its toll. I could see him overwhelming McGregor with volume, maybe even getting a late stoppage.
I did some simple data summary.I compared their significant strikes landed per minute, takedown defense, and recent fight records. It all pointed towards a much tougher fight for McGregor this time around.
Finally, I wrote down my “prediction”. I’m going with Holloway by late TKO or decision. It’s just my guess, based on what I’ve seen. I could be totally wrong! It’s the fight game, anything can happen, right?
This was just a fun little exercise for myself. Don’t take it too seriously! It’s all just speculation and my personal way of analyzing a potential dream fight.
