Filed under: Featured , News , UFC There were times when it seemed like Max Holloway didn’t know who he was fighting in UFC 218’s main event – or maybe he did and just didn’t care. Jose Aldo , once the most dominant featherweight champion the UFC has ever known, stood there chopping at his legs and hammering at his head, and still it was as if Holloway couldn’t convince himself to be the least bit concerned. If anything, he seemed encouraged. The more he could convince Aldo to plant his feet throw, going punch for punch in an escalating battle of pace of pressure, the sooner he could get rid of him . And so Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) kept on him, cranking up the volume on his own output even when it meant taking an Aldo (26-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) right hand to the face in response.
