Trending
Though both fighters are a hair’s breadth apart in terms of rankings, this fight may not necessarily play out in a closely fought manner.
Top featherweight contenders Max Holloway and Ricardo Lamas battle it out to see who breaks into the upper echelon of the division containing the likes of Chad Mendes, Frankie Edgar, Jose Aldo and possibly – if the weight cut is not too brutal – the champion Conor McGregor.

On a 8 fight win streak after his loss to Conor McGregor, Max Holloway is on a roll par none in the UFC currently and has evolved into a well-rounded fighter that can be comfortable in holding his own wherever the fight goes.
Ricardo Lamas prefers to grapple with his opponents and look for submissions so expect Holloway to keep the fight standing using his ever-improving footwork and look to reel off those smooth combinations.
Neither fighter has fight changing power so the better fighter over the duration of 3 rounds is likely to add to their win column.
And in this case, it is probably going to be Max Holloway.
Prediction: Max Holloway by Unanimous Decision
