Max Holloway

Following his victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 329, Max Holloway has expressed willingness to wait for a trilogy fight but told fans that a lightweight title shot against Justin Gaethje is an equally appealing alternative. Holloway pointed to their shared history — most notably his knockout of Gaethje with one second remaining at UFC 300 — as reason the matchup would be a natural next step. The Hawaiian also noted he is targeting a path back to gold after losing the BMF title to Charles Oliveira earlier this year.

Alessa Holloway has opened up about how Max Holloway persistently pursued her for five years before their relationship developed, admitting she often left his messages unread and did not initially know the extent of his fame. She returned to Hawaii after years in California and gradually began spending more time with Max, only realizing his standing in the sport after friends pointed it out. Alessa praised Max's elite athletic mindset and self-confidence, saying his discipline and belief in himself extends into every part of his life, including how he motivates her when her own self-belief wavers.
