The best is ‘Blessed’: Inside Max Holloway’s epic resume ahead of UFC 236 title fight

nt"

The fighter with the longest run of victories on the UFC roster returns to action Saturday when Max Holloway competes in the UFC 236 main event.

Holloway (20-3 MMA, 16-3 UFC), the reigning UFC featherweight champion, will move up to the lightweight division in pursuit of a second belt when he rematches Dustin Poirier (24-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC) in an interim 155-pound title bout at UFC 236. The event takes place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.

“Blessed” lost his UFC debut to Poirier by first-round submission at UFC 143 in February 2012. He will have the chance to avenge the loss and add to his unique resume when he steps in the octagon for the 20th time.

With another significant contest in Holloway’s career just around the corner, there’s no better time to take a closer look at everything he’s achieved to date and what records are in store if he continues his championship form at UFC 236.
