Max Holloway confident he’ll make 145 pounds for UFC 308 title fight: ‘I’ve never missed weight’

Max Holloway says there should be no concern surrounding his move back down to featherweight ahead of UFC 308.

Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC) challenges 145-pound champion Ilia Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in the UFC 308 main event Oct. 26 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Holloway is coming off a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in a lightweight bout to claim the BMF title. It was Holloway’s second crack at 155 pounds in the UFC, but this time, he went through a proper process of building into the necessary frame.

Now Holloway must drop back down to 145 pounds to face Topuria, and he is confident in his team.
