Among the Over 60 set in Waianae, Hawaii, Max Holloway is a superstar.
“It’s funny, but a bunch of my fans in Hawaii are older people,” said the interim UFC featherweight champion, who will attempt to unify the 145-pound title against Jose Aldo in the main event of UFC 212 this Saturday in Rio de Janeiro. “A lot of grandmas and grandpas watch the news. I’ve got 70-year-olds coming up to me, and they cry. They thank me for what I’m doing and this is huge. In Hawaii, we haven’t had a champion in forever, and they’re helping me and supporting me.
