Max Holloway gives credit to Proper Twelve for putting Conor McGregor in a great mood. Holloway lost his UFC featherweight belt against Alex Volkanovski in 2019 and also lost the rematch after a year. After losing twice in a row, Holloway bounced back and put forward great performances against Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodríguez. In the fight against Kattar, Holloway went into a different zone and the fight was incredible. While in his fight with Rodríguez, the ‘ Blessed’ systematically dismantled the Mexican for five rounds.

That win earned him another opportunity to fight for the title against Volkanovski. That fight was originally going to take place at UFC 273 but due to an injury Holloway couldn’t compete. Volkanovski later fought the ‘ Korean Zombie’ and won the fight very easily.

Now after such a long wait, the much anticipated trilogy fight between Holloway and Volkanovski is finally taking place. At UFC 276, the pair will go against each other for the championship as well as the title of being the greatest featherweight of all time.
