Dana White wants Max Holloway to move up to lightweight. In that division, there are no shortage of potentially amazing matchups.
There’s Conor McGregor, the last man to beat Holloway back in 2013. There’s Tony Ferguson, whose frenetic style would pair dazzlingly well with the Hawaiian. And then there’s lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, whom Holloway was supposed to face at UFC 223 back in April.
That latter scenario might be the one that intrigues Holloway the most, he said at the UFC 231 post-fight press conference Saturday night in Toronto after defending his featherweight belt against Brian Ortega.
