Having joined the UFC as a 20-year-old, the Hawaiian star has showcased his extreme toughness and impressive skill sets inside the octagon. With his UFC career spanning over a decade now, the now-33-year-old is also regarded as one of the best boxers in the entire history of the UFC.

All about Max Holloway’s wife Alessa Quizon
Due to his troubled childhood, Holloway didn’t have a lot of friends surrounding him as he grew up. However, he found solace when he met his girlfriend, Kaimana Pa’aluhi. The two shared a strong bond and decided to tie the knot in 2012. Holloway and his wife were also blessed with a son shortly after, whom they named Rush Holloway. Unfortunately, the couple separated in 2014, just over two years into their marriage, and their relationship came to an end with a divorce in 2017.
After waiting for three years, Holloway began a relationship with the noted Hawaiian surfer, Alessa Quizon. Their relationship developed pretty quickly as Holloway revealed Quizon had replied with a “Yes” to his proposal. They were only 8 months into their relationship back then.

Nevertheless, Holloway and Quizon took a fair amount of time following their engagement. It would have been expected by fans that they would announce their marriage a lot sooner, but the two eventually settled on 16 April 2022 as the date of their wedding. The lovely wedding ceremony took place in Hawaii, and several of their friends and family members were present as Alessa Quizon became Alessa Holloway. Now, let’s move over and take a look at her background.

Can Max Holloway reclaim featherweight gold, or will Ilia Topuria prove to be his toughest challenge yet?
Have an interesting take?
It is important to note that Hollway’s wife, Alessa, is quite the athlete because she’s an accomplished surfer and has participated in World Surfers’ League tournaments. She has also taken part in some renowned surfing competitions across the continents. These include the Fijian Women’s Pro Surfing Championship and the West Australian Margaret Pro Surfing Championships.
Quizon had revealed through her Facebook page that she was unable to take part in the season for 2022, but retirement from the sport was not something she was planning for quite a while. It’s understandable if her fans were disappointed since she decided not to participate in the competition for the 2022 season. Nevertheless, now that it is over, they will most certainly want her to remain on top of her game.

But that’s not the only thing she’s good at. Much like Max Holloway, his wife also packs a powerful punch. In fact, Alessa Quizon once beat ‘The Korean Zombie’, Chan Sung Jung, on the punching machine. But moving over to the family side of things, let’s see if Alessa and Max Holloway have any children of their own.
Do Max Holloway and Alessa Quizon have kids?
The marriage union of Max Holloway and Alessa Quizon has not been graced with a child of their own yet, so far. But as we’ve already mentioned, ‘Blessed’ has a son with his first wife, Kaimana Pa’aluhi, named Rush Holloway. Born in 2012, Rush grew very fond of sports at a very young age. Several pictures posted by his father on social media indicate that the 13-year-old partakes in baseball and surfing, taking a liking to his stepmother’s profession.

On their respective Instagram pages, it is easy to find the Holloway family’s happy moments captured in some beautiful pictures. To say that Quizon has embraced Rush will not be an understatement. The BMF champion’s family is in a good place, but things could get even better if Max Hollway can get a win after a KO defeat in his last fight this weekend at UFC 318.
Dustin Poirier’s career will be coming full circle since he welcomed Max Holloway into the UFC. The two stars have a healthy respect between them, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be going all-out during their fight. After all, Holloway is planning to ruin Poirier’s retirement fight. Who do you reckon takes home the win this weekend? Drop your comments below.
