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:
