Morning Report: Dana White says Max Holloway is ‘too big’ to continue as featherweight

Tomorrow at UFC 231, Max Holloway will return to the cage after a year long layoff to defend his featherweight title against Brian Ortega, assuming he can make weight. But the one man who should arguably be the most concerned with Holloway’s weight cut, says he isn’t worried.

“It’s weird; I’m not nervous, but I should be,” UFC President Dana White told MMAJunkie recently. “You know, I didn’t want him to fight again at ’45. He wanted this fight so bad. He got cleared by every test and doctor and everything we’ve done.
