LAS VEGAS – It’s been a little over two years since Max Holloway lost to Conor McGregor, it what was the Irish firebrand’s first fight on U.S. soil. Now McGregor is not only carrying an interim title in the featherweight division, but he’s headlining one of the biggest weekends in UFC history against Jose Aldo.
As for Holloway? He’s rebounded from the loss nicely. He’s fighting on the same UFC 194 pay-per-view as McGregor, and he’s quietly looking for his eighth straight victory. Should be beat Jeremy Stephens on Saturday night, Holloway will have made it two years in a row where he posted 4-0 records.
