Max Holloway displayed his unreal striking prowess in January when he dismantled Calvin Kattar. Holloway broke almost every single-fight significant striking record in the UFC in that fight. Ironically, he had set those records himself against Brian Ortega in one of the most one-sided title fights in UFC history.
Holloway was a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast and spoke about how his ability to go to ‘çrazy land’ hides any lapses in ability.

“On paper, you put down my stats, nobody is going to pick me. What the f*ck? Who is this guy? You know what I mean? But there’s this mental part and this heart part that you can’t measure. That’s that crazy land part, people don’t know what the f*ck crazy land is. If they see this guy who’s got the passport to crazy land, but these are his stats.”
Holloway added, “Out of 10, all threes. Then there’s this guy with all nines or maybe a couple of tens. But he don’t got a passport to crazy land. They’ll be like f*ck crazy land, this guy is great. Most of the time they realize that the lads with the crazy land passport are, well, crazy. They figure it out.”

Holloway’s performance against Kattar is an example of what can happen if a fighter is in the ‘zone’. Holloway was locked in and did not seem to miss a beat inside the cage. He was talking to the announcers while seamlessly dodging strikes from Kattar. Along with that, he was landing some of his own.
Crazy land may be the place every fighter needs to go to zone in on their fights. Even if someone has the skill, that mentality in a fight is imperative for continued success. Holloway is the example of that.
