Jersey tough! Frankie is a absolute warrior but Max was just too sharp great win for a great champion.
— Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) July 28, 2019
Holloway was just too dominant in determining the proper range and even when Frankie did get in on a single or body lock, Max had an answer there too. This was a sharp performance and an improved Holloway imo. #UFC240

Good clean fight. Congrats guys.

I guess I’m bias but I thought Frankie had rd 1,3,4 #ufc240
— Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) July 28, 2019
48-47 I think was right. I do think Frankie beat aldo but max the 145 goat.
