Watch champ Max Holloway take out Jose Aldo at UFC 212 in Brazil
It will have been more than a year since we’ve seen him in action, but Max Holloway finally returns to work next week.
Featherweight champion Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) puts his title on the line against unbeaten challenger Brian Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in the UFC 231 main event after a yearlong absence.
Holloway was slated to return in March at UFC 222, but a leg injury forced him out. Not long after, he was tapped to move up to lightweight against Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title for an injured Tony Ferguson. But he was pulled from that fight the day before with weight-cutting complications.
In July, he was set to meet Ortega – but bizarre concussion-like symptoms ruled him out of that bout, too. Now he finally returns a year after beating Jose Aldo in a rematch at UFC 218.
UFC 231 takes place Dec. 8 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Holloway is no stranger to Toronto. He won the interim featherweight title there in December 2016 against Anthony Pettis. And in June 2017, he fought longtime champ Aldo to unify the belts. He was sensational with a third-round TKO finish against Aldo in Aldo’s home country of Brazil.
Check out that full fight in the video above. Then don’t miss Holloway’s return next week at UFC 231.
