Dana White wants to see Max Holloway back at featherweight

Max Holloway was spectacular in his first UFC fight at 155 pounds, but Dana White isn’t sure he wants to see that sight again anytime soon.

At the UFC 236 post-fight presser, White heaped praise upon Holloway and Dustin Poirier for delivering five rounds of non-stop action in Saturday’s main event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, then addressed the question of whether he expects to see Holloway drop back down to 145 pounds to defend that division’s title.

Holloway lost a unanimous decision to Poirier, a result that prevented him from adding an interim lightweight title to his collection.
