Max Holloway defends the Lightweight title!
Pretty good early, but Max just started having his way (non-sexually) with Aldo by the end of this one. But not like that real life joke-fest that was the Kattar "fight". Like. LUL what a troll that fight was. "Hey fans, wanna see a fight?" Then they show us that. And I felt guilty doing Covington vs. Anderson Silva on this Zenith. Shame on you, UFC. Shame. On. Fucking. You.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
