The current UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall has made his prediction for one of the biggest fights of the year at UFC 329.
In the main event of UFC 329, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the UFC octagon against Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway.
Aspinall believes that it is McGregor who is going to add another W to his record despite being away from the octagon for five years.
Tom Aspinall backs Conor McGregor to knock out Max Holloway
Naming his pick for the UFC 329 main event, Aspinall said he believes McGregor is going to knock Holloway out in round one. Aspinall did emphasize that despite being one of the greatest fighters, Holloway didn’t look good in his fight against Charles Oliveira.
“McGregor, round one knockout. That power doesn’t leave.”
Aspinall continued, “he needs one shot, and it can be over. So I am more favoring the McGregor win to be honest. He’s beat Max Holloway before.”
“Max Holloway, in my opinion, is a really good fighter, one of the best ever. But he didn’t look great in his last fight against Charles Oliveira. But I would favor more towards McGregor winning with a big left.”
McGregor would look to repeat his win over Holloway
The pair first fought in August 2013, where McGregor defeated Holloway by unanimous decision. The Irishman rose through the featherweight division, claiming the featherweight title with a spectacular KO win over Jose Aldo at UFC 194.
McGregor then went on to become a 2-division champion with a TKO win over Eddie Alvarez.
While there are questions on how McGregor would fare after a five-year hiatus, fans are certain that the fight will be an entertaining one.
