KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway isn’t just here for fun and games – he’s here to reclaim UFC gold.
Holloway (23-7 MMA, 19-7 UFC) is firmly positioned near the top of the division, but his situation is complicated because the current champion Alexander Volkanovski holds three title fight wins over him. After dropping the title in their first meeting at UFC 245 and then losing the immediate rematch at UFC 251, it took Holloway two consecutive wins to get another crack at his nemesis.
After the same result in his last outing at UFC 276, and a prior failed appearance at lightweight, Holloway appears stuck in neutral as the best fighter in the featherweight division without the title.
