During a recent edition of the ‘Weighing in’ podcast, Thomson pointed out that Max Holloway’s speed, reach, range, boxing abilities, conditioning, and cardio will be huge factors in the fight.
According to Thomson, the former UFC featherweight champion will maul Rodriguez this weekend in the main event of UFC Vegas 42.
However, Thomson isn’t ruling out the possibility of being proved wrong by Rodriguez. He believes if ‘El Pantera’ takes a page out of champion Alexander Volkanovski’s book and starts landing on Holloway’s legs, he might have a chance at winning this fight.
Thomson thinks it will be easier for Rodriguez to catch Max Holloway during transitions if he follows the same but concluded his statement by praising Holloway and labeling him a ‘stud’.

Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez will collide in a huge fight this weekend at UFC Vegas 42
This Saturday at the UFC Apex, Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez will square off in a huge featherweight showdown. Heading into the bout, Holloway is on the back of a big win over Calvin Kattar, whereas Rodriguez last competed in 2019 when he defeated Jeremy Stephens.
A win for Holloway this weekend will likely confirm his third fight against Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title. Yair’s goal will be to ruin Holloway’s chances and set his sights on the belt instead.
