‘There’s interesting fights up there’ — Holloway teases move to 155 after Volkanovski trilogy

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway could be headed to the lightweight division after his trilogy with Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 276.

Holloway is a career featherweight, but the Hawaiian is no stranger to 155 pounds. “Blessed” previously fought Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight title in a Fight of the Night at UFC 236. He lost via unanimous decision.

Now, just a few days removed from his rematch with Volkanovski, Holloway is again considering a move up to 155. The 30-year-old says there are “interesting fights” at that weight class, teasing a potential showdown with No.
