MAX HOLLOWAY

An American fighter representing Gracie Technics and Legacy Muay Thai, Max Holloway hails from Waianae, Hawaii. Entering mixed martial arts after starting kickboxing as a teenager, the versatile switch-stance competitor made a significant mark on the sport. He established himself as a former UFC featherweight titleholder and also claimed lightweight gold, while securing his place in the record books for landing the highest number of significant strikes in promotional history.

Ahead of his appearance at UFC 329, the veteran held an overall record of 22-7-0. His five most recent matches yielded mixed results. Holloway secured knockout victories against Jung Chan-sung and Justin Gaethje, and later earned a unanimous decision over Dustin Poirier. However, these triumphs were countered by a knockout loss to Ilia Topuria and a unanimous decision defeat against Charles Oliveira in his most recent outing.
