2. Max Holloway Defeated Akira Corassani
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNYn8TiJNvY This was Sweden's last hope for a home town fighter to win on the main card. Sure, the prelims were a different story, but the main card? It just hadn't gone well to this point. This should have been the fight to change that, in the eyes of most making predictions. We save a little face here, because we called Holloway's upset, though we had it in the third, no the first. That's right, three fights, three upsets, three finishes in the first round. Holloway took Corassani out with pinpoint volume striking as the Swedish fighter tried to clinch and did his best to keep the fight going. It just wasn't enough in the end.
