Max Holloway

A Hawaiian Legend

There aren't many fighters in the UFC who can claim to be the greatest striker the combat sport has ever seen, but Max 'Blessed' Holloway has the numbers to prove it. Hailing from Waianae in Hawaii, 'Blessed' is one of the most beloved fighters in MMA, a former Featherweight Champion and BMF title holder who has been delivering unforgettable moments for over a decade. From his dominant Featherweight title reign to the greatest knockout in UFC history at UFC 300, Max has showcased the heart of a true warrior every time he steps into the Octagon.

Showcasing His Greatness

Holloway announced himself to the world in 2017, stopping the legendary Jose Aldo to claim the Featherweight Title, then repeating the feat in the rematch six months later. Successful defences against Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar cemented his reign as one of the division's all-time greats. He then delivered one of the most iconic moments in UFC history, pointing to the canvas to invite Justin Gaethje to brawl before knocking him out with one second on the clock to claim the BMF Title.

He's also settled one of the sport's longest-running rivalries in emphatic fashion, avenging his early-career loss to Conor McGregor with a first-round TKO at UFC 329. Whatever the stage, Max finds a way to write himself into the history books.

Unrivalled Output

Holloway is renowned for having the highest striking volume in UFC history and this is what makes him such a formidable opponent. He has landed more significant strikes than any fighter to ever compete in the promotion, combining relentless pace with an iron chin that wears down his adversaries round after round. His willingness to stand and trade in the pocket is what we love about UFC and keeps the audience at Stake Sportsbook glued to the events.
