The Prelims start at 8:00pm Eastern time. Main card starts at 10:00pm. Live from Mowtown (Detroit).

Main event is a rematch between Max Holloway vs Jose Aldo. Holloway won their first fight via TKO in the third round (referee stoppage due to punches). Both of these fighters are almost evenly matched, and their first fight could have gone either way in my opinion.

I’m giving a slight edge to Aldo. He won the first two rounds of their last fight. Although he came out on the losing end of their first fight, his only other recent loss was in 2015 to Conor McGregor. Given the caliber and talent of McGregor, that loss is nothing to be ashamed of. Prior to that fight, Aldo hadn’t lost a fight since 2005.

I like both fighters, but I predict Aldo will pull it off.

Holloway did it again! The ref stopped the fight in the third round and Holloway kept his title. This guy is for real. Aldo landed some good blows throughout the fight, but Holloway’s gifted with a strong chin. He can really absorb those strong blows. My hat goes off to him. Aside from Conor McGregor, Holloway is the only other fighter to beat Aldo since 2005. Overall a great fight!
