UFC 218: Holloway vs Aldo II Betting Odds
Max Holloway will appear to defend his undisputed UFC featherweight championship for the first time when he welcomes a familiar foe into the Octagon. Holloway will take on Jose Aldo — the guy he defeated to unify the featherweight belts.
Holloway finds himself as a big -305 gaming preferred after completing Aldo in the third round if they last met at UFC 212, while the challenger goes back at +230. This is a radical change from the betting line for their first bout, as Holloway closed as a +135 underdog.
Holloway is riding an 11-fight winning series — in one of the very branches in the UFC — with all eight of those coming through stoppage. The Hawaiian owns incredible footwork which permits him to cut angles and be more competitive in the standup game. Holloway will want to pressure his opponent from the leash and unleash combos. With no competitor taking down him into his eight conflicts, his wrestling is elite.
Aldo is a striker on the feet who tends to adhere to basics. This is not a knock against the Brazilian, as his style is fluid and heavy on counter-striking. He’s got an excellent jab today, and a few of the most lethal leg kicks in MMA. Aldo can grapple as well, since he holds a black belt in BJJ, however he traditionally utilizes his wrestling defensively to keep a fight standing.
