As the undisputed king of the UFC men's featherweight division, Max Holloway seems to have it all.

Just shy of six months into his reign as the 145-pound champion, Holloway enjoys all the trappings of future UFC stardom, including youth, athleticism, skill and swagger to spare. If he jets through Saturday's title rematch against Jose Aldo at UFC 218 the way the odds say he should, he'll also become the first man to make a successful defense of the featherweight strap since 2014.

So we'll officially be able to add dominance to Holloway's list of positive traits.
