Max Holloway is in a bit of a bind. Not only is the UFC’s featherweight title in seemingly perpetual limbo - around the waist of the now hiatus-ing lightweight champion - but the chances of fighting for an interim belt seem pretty slim as well. After all, the UFC already handed one out, when Jose Aldo rematched Frankie Edgar at UFC 200.
The problem for Holloway is that Aldo doesn’t seem all that interested in fighting him, or fighting at all for that matter. Instead the interim champ has been looking for a way out of his UFC contract.
