Dana White Unsure If Max Holloway Is The Greatest Hawaiian Fighter Of All-Time

Max Holloway defended his featherweight title for the third straight time in the main event of UFC 240. There, the Hawaiian beat Frankie Edgar by decision. With the win, he continues his case of possibly being the greatest featherweight of all-time. But, he is still eyeing the greatest fighter of all-time.

Something else he is closing in on, or perhaps past, is being the greatest fighter from Hawaii ever. Of course, many think UFC Hall of Famer, B.J. Penn is the best given what he accomplished. Being the Las Vegas-based promotions, lightweight and welterweight champion and fighting and beating some of the best to ever do it.

For UFC president, Dana White, it is hard to say if Holloway has surpassed Penn as the greatest Hawaiian fighter of all-time.

“It’s tough,” White said at the UFC 240 post-fight press conference (h/t TheBodyLock). “You know, B.J. Penn was such a huge talent. I think B.J. was so talented, he never took it as serious as he could have and should have.

“But if you look at how small that island is, and the talent that comes off that island, it’s pretty incredible. To have two of the greatest fighters ever out of Hawaii is pretty impressive.”

Regardless, both Max Holloway and B.J. Pen are currently having and had a legendary career.

Who do you think is the greatest fighter to come out of Hawaii?

B.J. Penn is currently on a seven-fight losing streak, and many think he could be done. Yet, Chael Sonnen doesn’t think so, and he wants to see the former champion fight one more time against Nik Lentz.

The two used to train together, but as of late, have gone back-and-forth on social media.

“Nik Lentz took some kind of shot against B.J. Penn. B.J. Penn then responded. This whole thing was done through social media, and Penn says I’ll see you soon,” Sonnen said on his podcast. “Nik Lentz then says, well I don’t know about that, I don’t spend a whole lot of time in Hawaii in back of police cruisers. So, there is no reason why you should be seeing me soon.”

Why Sonnen is interested in this fight is simple. It is a grudge match and has an interesting story attached. And, the UFC Hall of Famer could say this truly is his last fight and be a retirement fight for him as well.

“There is something to be said about a grudge match,” he said. “There is a story here if people are into it. It captivated me, I’m interested in. You also have something that this is B.J.’s last fight.”

Even though Penn is on a losing streak, and Lentz is still fighting ranked opponents, Chael Sonnen wants to see that fight. Whether or not it happens is to be seen, but Sonnen is interested in it.

“I would like to see that fight,” Sonnen concluded.
