This bet is -233 on Tailgate and we like it to -400. This is one of the easiest choices we have ever made siding with the favorite in Mad Max. It has been five years since McGregor has fought, which is a major red flag and he is coming off that brutal knee injury which sometimes changes fighters careers. An injury like that isn’t ideal considering age will only take away what made Connor so elite, which was his mobility. Even before the injury, McGregor was getting toyed with by Dustin Poirier, twice. That is a fighter that Max Holloway put on a clinic against. Now with Holloway, he still boasts sneaky power, insane volume, elite cardio, and has fought the very best fighters there is to fight. He is going to absolutely dominate this fight against McGregor and we think a finish is likely. The market is giving way too much credit to McGregor because of his popularity and pre-fight hype. It feels like only nostalgia is what leads you to bet him.
