Tom Aspinall picks Conor McGregor to score quick KO at UFC 329
Aspinall talked about the upcoming fight between Holloway and McGregor on his YouTube channel. The Brit is encouraged by the latter’s recent interviews, wherein he appears to be in the right mindset.
“I watched a couple of his interviews recently. He seems in a really good place,” Aspinall said. “I know it’s only an interview, but he does seem in a good place. When McGregor’s on form, he’s absolutely unreal. Absolutely unreal.”
Further breaking down the rematch, Aspinall claimed that neither fighter is at their best, with McGregor coming off a lengthy absence from the Octagon and Holloway suffering a dominant defeat in his last outing against Charles Oliveira. “He’s beat Max Holloway before. Max Holloway, in my opinion, really, really good fighter,” he added. “Neither of them are the same fighter that they were like 10 years ago.”
Emphasizing the power difference between the two, Aspinall says one well-timed shot from McGregor could be enough to secure the victory, which is why he favors the Irishman to beat Holloway.
“I heard a couple of McGregor interviews. I was very impressed with what he was talking about and how calm he seemed and how focused he seemed. But the thing is that power doesn’t leave. Like, he just needs one shot and it can be over. So, I’m more favoring towards a McGregor win. I think Conor McGregor Round one knockout. I think he’s going to land the big left bomber on him,” Aspinall concluded.
