LOS ANGELES — Max Holloway isn’t just viewing his UFC 212 main event matchup with Jose Aldo Jr. as a featherweight title unification match.
He also sees it as the night the 145-pound weight class slams the door on the Conor McGregor Era once and for all.
The chain of events which ended up with Aldo as the UFC featherweight champion and Holloway as the interim champ begin in Dec. 2015, when McGregor knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds to claim the championship.
Since that time, McGregor has gone on to win the lightweight championship and become the first simultaneous two-weight class champion in UFC history.
