Max Holloway Issues Challenge To Conor McGregor, Blasts Jose Aldo

Newly crowned UFC interim featherweight champion Max Holloway has it all to play for right now.

Newly crowned UFC interim featherweight champion Max Holloway has it all to play for right now. Currently on a 10-fight win streak, ‘Blessed’ shares a place in the top five longest sprees in UFC history. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Demetrious Johnson, Royce Gracie, Anderson Silva, GSP and Jon Jones, the future is very bright. After taking out Anthony Pettis in dominant fashion at UFC 206, Holloway earned his first taste of UFC gold.

Taking on the former lightweight champion in Canada last night (Saturday December 10, 2016) the Hawaiian native looked typically sharp. Now that he’s up there with the all-time greatest streaks, one obvious fight could prove pivotal in all respects. Having been recently promoted to full champion again, Jose Aldo has been a hot topic for Holloway lately.

Where’s Waldo?

Speaking during the UFC 206 post-fight press conference, Max Holloway discussed his impending unification bout against Jose Aldo. ‘Blessed’ was offended by Aldo’s actions over the recent months, and is even more adamant about making an example of the Brazilian now. As quoted by FOX Sports:

“This is my golden ticket. That mother (expletive) is always getting hurt and pulling out, it might as well have been the real belt,” Holloway said about Aldo. “Most true fans know the story. Conor’s (McGregor) coach even said I’m the best 145’er in the world and then Jose’s over here saying he wants to retire, unretire, then he gets the belt, now he has the belt, now he wants to go up a weight class instead of fight so I don’t know.

“Where’s Jose Waldo? Let me know when you find him. Team work [makes] the dream work. If more of us can look for him, we’re going to find him together. We’ll see what happens. Most true fans know the storyline and most true fans said this should have been for the real belt.”

Don’t Wait

“I don’t want to give up my son’s birthday and Christmas for Feb. 11 and he doesn’t show up. This guy has a knack for not showing up so we’ll see what happens. I’ve got to talk to Dana White first, I’ve got a brunch that I want to sit down and talk to him and Sean Shelby and we can talk business.”

“I was looking out for Aldo, I thought he wanted to fight and this guy’s saying he’s the best in the world, come and prove it. I don’t believe in guys waiting for title shots. That means that you’re a pussy, you don’t believe that you’re the best guy in the world,” Holloway said. “I believe I’m the best guy in the world.”

Challenge to McGregor

“If I’ve got to defend this thing 10 times before I get the undisputed (belt) that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to prove to you guys, prove to myself and prove to everyone that I’m the best mother (expletive) walking on two feet and you guys are all going to witness it. This is the ‘Blessed’ show now and I’m taking over.”

“I ain’t over here begging for fights. If that guy wants to fight me, he can come fight me,” Holloway said towards McGregor. “I ain’t going to beg. We’ve got so (many) guys on their knees begging to fight him. If he wants to fight me, he can come see me.

“If he wants to fight the best, you come fight ‘Blessed’.”

UFC 206 emanated from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada tonight (Saturday, December 10, 2016). It was an event for the ages.

In the main event, Max Holloway defeated Anthony Pettis via TKO to become the interim featherweight champion, lining up a matchup with Jose Aldo. The two strikers sniped and peppered one another throughout the abbreviated five-round affair. In the end, though, Holloway’s relentless pressure, greater volume, and perhaps Pettis’ compromised gas tank led to a victory for the Hawaiian.

The co-main event featured welterweight action fighters Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Matt ‘The Immortal’ Brown duking it out for just over two rounds. Both men were dropped inside the first ten mintues in a back-and-forth battle. ‘Cowboy’ brought the proceedings to a close about a minute into the third round when he landed a head kick flush to Brown’s jaw, dropping him where he stood. No follow-up punches were necessary. The win marked Cerrone’s fourth straight victory – and fourth straight finish – since moving to welterweight earlier this year.

But the unquestioned fight of the night – and a serious contender for Fight of the Year – came from two other featherweights on the main card in Cub Swanson and Dooho Choi. The two engaged in a slobberknocker of epic proportions, each finding the mark multiple times with seeming fight-ending blows. Despite each being badly hurt at various points, neither man would give an inch. They banged it out until the very end, with Swanson doing just a bit more down the stretch to take a unanimous decision. The violence gods were satisfied.

Max Holloway vs. Anthony Pettis Full Fight Video Highlights

He already deserved a title shot with nine straight wins, but Max Holloway was still looking for just the interim belt when he met former lightweight champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in the main event of last night’s (Sat., December 10, 2016) UFC 206 from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

In what will certainly rate as his finest performance thus far, Holloway was able to wear “Showtime” down with a nonstop pressure game, hitting him with pinpoint body and head shots to pour on the heat enough to earn an emphatic stoppage up against the fence. It was a defining win that earned the 25-year-old Hawaiian the next shot at newly re-crowned official champion Jose Aldo in what should be one of the best 145-pound bouts in UFC history.

“Blessed” is ready for Aldo, calling him out with vigor in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. While that’s a fight fans wholly deserve to see, in the meantime, watch the full fight video highlights of Holloway’s latest and greatest win right here:

Following a streak of failed opportunities when Georges St-Pierre couldn’t headline and Daniel Cormier was then forced out of the main event slot, UFC 206 was still able to deliver one of the most exciting cards of the year this evening (Sat., December 10, 2016) from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

In the main, surging featherweight Max Holloway scored his tenth straight victory over former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, battering the star with a relentless onslaught of punches to secure the interim featherweight championship and a future date with champion Jose Aldo. In the co-main event, Donald Cerrone knocked out Matt Brown with a massive head kick in the third round of an exciting back-and-forth brawl, and featherweights Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi threw down in what could easily go down as Fight of the Year.
