Background
Max Holloway built his legacy on relentless volume, elite boxing, and Hawaiian toughness. He stopped Anthony Pettis for interim featherweight gold, finished Jose Aldo in Rio to become undisputed champion, and defended the title against Aldo, Brian Ortega, and Frankie Edgar before a record-setting striking clinic against Calvin Kattar. At UFC 300 he knocked out Justin Gaethje in the final second to claim the BMF belt, then defended it against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318.
