Max Holloway last experienced defeat in the UFC in August 2013, in the hands of Conor McGregor via decision. It is also a loss that he has been wanting to get back.
Holloway is currently slated to face former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis for the interim featherweight title at UFC 206 on December 10, and a win gives him a chance to get a crack at newly-minted undisputed champion José Aldo. Winning the belt, however, may not be enough for him, as he wants another shot at McGregor, whichever weight class would be agreed upon.
