In the first matchup, Aldo started off strong, landing clean, technical combinations to take the first round. Holloway, normally an extremely fast rookie, did little in the initial round, trying to find his rhythm and range. For a guy that that lands almost six strikes a moment, Holloway threw puzzlingly little strikes for the first two rounds.
It turned out that was the plan all together, as”Blessed” along with his team believed that Aldo was most dangerous early, using a gas tank that may be exploited later. Since the third round began, we began to see the typical, high octane Max Holloway, that started pouring on lively kick-punch combinations. Though Aldo managed to land a few counters, Holloway marched him down and put him away before the round ended.
The success was a decisive one, which makes it easy to feel that Holloway is a surefire choice. Aldo has had issues with his cardio, while Holloway is a fighter with a non-stop engine. Making matters worse for the Brazilian is Holloway’s iron chin – Aldo’s fast and powerful enough to ice most dudes with one combination, but he can’t seem to do this with Holloway.
So is there some path to a triumph for Aldo? Possibly. For starters, he can get back to the painful leg kicks that were his bread-and-butter during his early UFC days. Why he has gone away from it is puzzling to many observers, because it was one of the best weapons in the full fight game. Yet against Holloway and Frankie Edgar before himAldo barely threw any. Softening up the legs of an aggressive fighter like”Blessed” might help the Brazilian fight at his preferred pace.
