Jon Jones Shares Prediction for Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2
When asked to predict McGregor vs. Holloway 2, here’s what Jones said.
“I think Max is probably going to win just cause he’s been more active. I don’t know (if he finishes the fight), but I’m rooting for both of them to have a good time,” Jones said.

As Jones noted, Holloway has been far more active in recent years, so that gives him a huge advantage in this fight over McGregor, who has not fought in five years since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
That being said, McGregor does possess the ultimate X-factor, which is his ability to KO his foe with just one punch. He is one of the most powerful knockout artists in UFC history, so don’t at all be surprised if he lands a huge bomb in this one and knocks Holloway out as the underdog.
But overall, Holloway is the favorite for a reason, as he is just the more well-rounded MMA fighter, younger, and far more active, as Jones said.
Then again, it’s MMA, and crazy things happen in this sport all the time. We are just one sleep away now from finding out what happens in this huge fight.
