Onstage with Max Holloway and Paige VanZant as part of a multi-base USO tour, the former host of “The Daily Show” host went shirtless and got all up in the UFC featherweight champion’s face.

“Jon Stewart is a real (one),” Holloway captioned his post.
Holloway, VanZant and Stewart have been jetting around the world over the past week for visits to Japan, South Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Retired NBA star Richard Hamilton and Food Network star Robert Irvine also tagged along.

The chance to support the troops was clearly an impactful experience for “Blessed.”
