Hawaii has a UFC titleholder once again.
Max Holloway is the new, undisputed featherweight champion, having gone into Brazil and dethroned Jose Aldo by 3rd round TKO. Aldo got off to a terrific start and had Holloway stunned in the opening frame, but Holloway slowly found his range and timing to land clean shots on Aldo. The combination punching he used to dispatch Jose at the end was gorgeous. He was landing savage blows on the ground from full mount, and when the rear-naked choke didn’t come, he just kept punching a turtled up Aldo until John McCarthy had seen enough.
