He hasn’t looked back since, with five straight wins, including four finishes. And he said he owes the surge to an emphasis on his striking game – thanks to proper coaching in that area for the first time. Holloway (12-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) on Saturday fights Cub Swanson (21-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in a crucial fight in the featherweight division at UFC on FOX 15, which takes place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Their fight is on the main card, which airs on FOX following prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass. On Thursday at a media event at Best Buy Theater in Times Square in New York, Holloway singled out his striking coaches for helping him advance his overall game.
