It’s a new era in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s featherweight division.
Max Holloway unified the 145-pound championship in emphatic fashion on Saturday night, as he vanquished Jose Aldo via third-round technical knockout in the UFC 212 headliner in Rio de Janeiro. Holloway started slowly but gained momentum as the fight progressed. The Hawaiian found an opening in round three when he dropped his opponent with a two-punch combination and then finished the contest with a relentless barrage of ground-and-pound at the 4:13 mark of the period.
The facts and figures only provide further evidence that Holloway is the unquestioned king of the division.
