I still remember the first time I read Max Holloway’s name. It was in a scouting report, where he clocked in at No. 7 among Featherweight up-and-comers. He was known as "Lil’ Evil" back then despite being nothing like the venerable Jens Pulver, plying his trade as a lanky striker with an endless gas tank and a propensity for wild techniques.
It’s been lovely to watch him develop into the poised, devastating striker that dominated Anthony Pettis last night (Sat., Dec. 10, 2016) in the main event of UFC 206, which took place inside Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada.
