INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- There can be little doubt left that Max Holloway has forced his way into the elite of the featherweight division.
The 24-year old Hawaiian scored a one-sided victory over the ultra-tough Ricardo Lamas on Sautrday night at UFC 199. The judges' scores were 30-27 across the board for the unanimous decision.
That marks nine wins in a row for Holloway (16-3) since a 2013 decision loss to current champion Conor McGregor.
Holloway set the tone in the opening round, pushing the pace, moving forward, and landing punches in bunches.
