Max Holloway receives hero’s welcome after arriving in Hawaii as undisputed champion

Conor McGregor has Ireland. Georges St-Pierre has Canada. And Max Holloway certainly has Hawaii.

Holloway returned home to the island state on Monday with his undisputed featherweight championship on his shoulder while receiving a raucous welcome back from friends, family and fans who greeted him upon his arrival.

Holloway had plenty to celebrate after handing Jose Aldo a third round TKO loss as he became the undisputed featherweight champion of the world.

The 25-year old Hawaiian returned home alongside teammate Yancy Medeiros, who also picked up a big win over the weekend with a TKO victory against Erick Silva.
