Despite a 10-fight win streak heading into UFC 212, interim featherweight champion Max Holloway has to go all the way back to his first victory to start that run to find the most important moment of his career thus far.
It’s not because that win started his streak or due to the level of opponent he was facing at the time.
Holloway points to his win over Will Chope as the turning point in his career because going into that fight he had dropped two straight losses and was staring into the abyss of the unknown on whether or not he’d still have a job in the UFC afterwards.
