On Saturday, Max Holloway silenced every doubter who believed something had gone wrong with him this year that would negatively impact his fighting career, as well as those who feared he wouldn’t make weight.
Instead, after his incredible performance of speed, stamina and accuracy with clear top contender Brian Ortega, Holloway, after just two title defenses, was being talked of as perhaps the greatest featherweight of all-time.
On one hand, it’s hard to argue with what happened Saturday. But Jose Aldo had a career of fights like that and a much longer run as champion.
