Max Holloway has proven on several occasions that he is a fighter with fire inside. He has taken the MMA community to the edge of their seats with his brilliant fights. Holloway was reigning as the UFC featherweight champion until Alexander Volkanovski entered the scene. He lost his featherweight belt against Volkanovski when they locked horns at UFC 245 on December 14, 2019. Later, Holloway fought for the title against ‘The Great’ two times, but unfortunately, he lost all the bouts against the Australian fighter.

At the moment, footage from the bout between Holloway and Calvin Kattar has captured the attention of UFC superstar Conor McGregor. McGregor is someone who held the featherweight championship while he was in his prime. When ‘The Notorious’ came across the mind-blowing punches of Holloway, he sent a grim warning to his former opponent.
