According to the Brazilian, Max is just an “ordinary” fighter, who doesn’t have the weapons to surprise them in a future encounter, besides having won a Anthony Pettis "decadent".
“It wasn't easy, but Pettis is in decline, so I expected Holloway to have a great chance of winning the fight. I haven't stopped to study (Holloway) yet, but a fight is a fight, of course. He tries to play more standing up, but for me, that's no problem at all, because I don't see where he can beat me. Standing, on the ground, wrestling, nothing. He has a large number of victories, but against guys with no expression at all. Now he caught Pettis in his second featherweight fight. I don't know where he thought he was all that. For me, he's another normal fighter and I knew there was a very high chance of us fighting and it will happen”, declared the fighter during the launch of the miniseries “Aldo – Mais Forte Que O Mundo”, an adaptation of the film that premiered in June this year. year.
