Max Holloway’s featherweight run appears to be over.
“Blessed” recently challenged for the UFC’s 145-pound title at UFC 308 and was knocked out for the first time in his career by Ilia Topuria. While Holloway teased a move up in weight at the post-fight press conference, he has since announced he’s planning a full-time move to the lightweight division.
“Maybe this is like my phoenix moment, you know, from the ashes,” Holloway said on his YouTube channel.
