“The long and the short of it is that UFC is very, very interested in having a (Max Holloway) fight here and having it at Aloha Stadium,” state Sen. Glenn Wakai told the Aloha Stadium Authority on Thursday.
Wakai (D, Kalihi, Salt Lake, Aliamanu) said he and Aloha Stadium manager Scott Chan took part in a recent conference call with Peter Dropick, UFC senior vice president event development and operations, and the prospects were good for a Holloway fight in the spring or summer of 2018.
“The only thing that could mess things up is if Holloway gets injured,” Wakai said.
