A fired up Max Holloway goes off on Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor
Of the many fighters that are flummoxed and frustrated by Conor McGregor’s moonlighting in other divisions, Max Holloway is chief among them. The 24-year-old Hawaiian fighter who goes by the "Blessed" nickname feels anything but in the way things are shaking out in his division — the same division he has won nine straight fights in.
First McGregor, who beat him back in 2013 when McGregor first fought on American soil in Boston, got booked into a lightweight title fight with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. And now, as a direct consequence, featherweight interim champion Jose Aldo has requested his outright release from the UFC.
