5 months agoMax Holloway (26-7) is set to take on Ilia Topuria in the main event of UFC 308 for the featherweight title. Holloway is coming off a stunning fifth-round KO win over Justin Gaethje at lightweight at UFC 300 to win the BMF belt. But, Holloway is a former featherweight champ who has back-to-back wins over Korean Zombie and Arnold Allen to be the No. 1 contender. Holloway enters the bout as the underdog as DraftKings has him at a salary of $7,400. In the UFC, Holloway is 22-7 with 13 wins by stoppage while he's been finished just once. If Holloway can win, he would be a two-time champ and would only further cement himself as an all-time great.

12 months agoMax Holloway scored a highlight-reel KO with one second left in the fifth and final round at UFC 300 to become the BMF champion. Holloway was moving back up to lightweight against Gaethje, and early on, the Hawaiian had a ton of success. Holloway was landing the better shots and outlanding Gaethje through three rounds. In the fourth round, Holloway appeared to get rocked. However, he did recover and in the fifth round, he once again was picking Gaethje apart and in the dying seconds went to the middle of the octagon and brawled with Gaethje before landing a KO with one second left. Holloway can now fight for either the featherweight or lightweight title next.
