Take A Look At Which Fighters Shined The Brightest In The First Half Of 2024

The highly unofficial half-year awards season concludes with our picks for the best fighters of the first half of 2024...

5 – Max Holloway

It’s hard to believe that before his 2018 bout with Brian Ortega, there were those questioning whether the wars had caught up to Max Holloway. Well, he’s gone 7-4 since then, delivering some of his best performances against Ortega, Calvin Kattar, Yair Rodriguez, Chan Sung Jung, and…in April of this year…Justin Gaethje. And yes, the knockout in the BMF title fight was epic, but Holloway’s performance up to the finish should also be talked about, because “Blessed” looked better than ever.
