He used his length and varied his targets. His footwork was precise, he was responsible defensively and showed good durability, and he mixed in weapons we hadn’t seen him use too often in recent fights, like the back kick that found Gaethje’s nose and broke it at the end of the first. round.
Holloway stayed tight, stayed within himself at all times, nibbling, nibbling, nibbling until the opportunity presented itself for him to land something bigger, and then he did. It was like this throughout the fight.
Touch-touch-touch-POP! Touch-touch-POP! Tap-POP! POPULAR!
It was the best Holloway had seen in a while, and that’s saying a lot, as he once embarked on a 13-fight winning streak that included winning and successfully defending the featherweight title, then s is imposed on Calvin Katter in the first main event of 2021. on Fight Island.
Saturday night, “Blessed” was indeed the best.
