Holloway: I don’t go ‘chasing’ and ‘begging’ for fight with Conor McGregor like Jose Aldo

It took some time, but a featherweight title unification bout between Jose Aldo and Max Holloway has been slated for UFC 212 in Aldo’s backyard of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

‘Scarface’ was officially promoted to official 145-pound champion after the UFC decided to strip Conor McGregor of the belt last year, but there was a lot of uncertainty about his future in the sport. At one point Aldo even threatened to take a dive to terminate his UFC contract, but it appears as though both parties have settled their differences and come to an understanding.
