    Holloway out of the Ortega fight. That's a big disappointment.

    Who would you like to see take Holloway's place?

    I don't think Holloway is a ducker man.

    Seems Holloway has been pulled off the card for post-concussion symptoms (passing out in training, badly slurred speech etc). Honestly sounds like some career ending type of issue.

    A guy that was willing to get off the couch to fight Khabib who had a full camp can't be labelled as a ducker.

    This late, no top name really. I didn't like Aldo taking the Holloway rematch on short notice. I didn't like Mendes taking the McGregor fight on short notice either.

    It’s safe to say it’s the end of an era.

    Full camp or short notice Mendes didn’t have the physicality or skill to beat Mcgregor.

    Stephens on short notice is a tough fight. I think if Holloway comes back he should move up in weight. He's tall for featherweight anyway at 5'11''.

    I agree that Holloway is huge for the weight. His ankles are thick as hell and he will definitely be better served health wise by not having to cut that much weight.
