Max Holloway came up short in his bid to become interim lightweight champion earlier this year, but a lone setback isn’t going to deter him from his ultimate goal to win a second UFC title in the future.
Back in April, the reigning featherweight king moved up to 155 pounds and engaged in a five-round war with Dustin Poirier that he lost by unanimous decision. Before the fight happened, Holloway was touted as a serious threat to the lightweight division as a fighter who might be more naturally built to compete at 155 pounds rather than cutting down to featherweight.
