The third round is the charm for Max Holloway.
For the second time in a row, “Blessed” dispatched Jose Aldo in the third stanza, this time to defend his featherweight crown in the UFC 218 headliner in Detroit on Saturday night. Just like their first meeting at UFC 212, Holloway capitalized as Aldo faded, winning via technical knockout at the 4:51 mark of the period. At just 25 years old, the Hawaiian can make a legitimate claim to being the best featherweight ever, even if he did decline that title in his post-fight interview.
