Championship fights are layered battles, with the competitors stepping into the Octagon operating at the highest level in their respective weight classes. Breaking down how these pivotal contests could possibly play out is a challenging venture, which is why UFC staff writer E. Spencer Kyte has taken to enlisting the help of some of the sharpest minds in the sport to help dissect these critical contests.
Ahead of this weekend’s BMF championship bout and trilogy fight between Max Holloway and the retiring Dustin Poirier, Kyte reached out to renowned striking coach Sean Madden of Easton Muay Thai and USA Muay Thai to break down what many anticipate will be a battle waged almost exclusively on the feet.
