Holloway management have got to be the worst in the business.

You set your fighter up to fight a guy he is 0-2 against. If he goes 0-3 (highly likely) his legacy and reputation are damaged forever.

Meanwhile the fighter Holloway destroyed in under a round is the champagne of 155. Holloway is getting too big for 45 so it's the right time to move up and get the easiest fight he could get for a world title. But the management team is dumb and passed on the perfect opportunity in favor volk who is short but he can fight and does have 2 wins against max and will add a 3rd one.

And you can even recall an old saying like if a burger with cheese aint much heavier than a burger without it. Management doesn't know hoe to weigh options. That's the sign of bad management and needs to be replaced.

But I doubt max will do it. He's from Hawaii and they have the reputation for being laid back chill people. So he will do the fight with volk and not complain. But in the end it won't be his fault if he loses. He probably didn't even want to take this fight. Because remember he was hesitant to do the second fight. Dana basically made him do it because Dana hates folk and loves max. So point is that max probably has no idea how badly he's being mismanaged.

I mean getting a 3rd title fight against a guy he lost twice to is pretty impressive from his management.
His management also got Holloway into a lot of big fights early in his career which got him to the belt sooner than most fighters.

Holloway could also refuse the fight, he just chose not to since he's a badass and will fight anyone.
It's mainly the UFC's fault for doing the immediate rematch with Volk/Hollway after Holloway lost the belt.

theres no other fight he wants and the second one was extremely close, with a majority of folks saying holloway won.

i think this is what happens with 1 belt per division. the top two guys end up fighting several times because everyone below has been beaten already.

personally, i like what holloway showed the last two fights he was out there (kattar, yair) BUT he gets touched alot and volk is happy to point fight, so holloway losing yet again is well within reason.
 
Also Holloway wants legacy fights right now.
Being a 2-time featherweight champ would be a huge accomplishment.

When he has nothing left to prove, he'll be more willing to chase money fights.
 
Lol at Holloway beating let alone destroying Oliveira. That fight should have been NC.
We all know what would have happened...
 
I love Max, but his style is not gonna work well for him at lw.
Why not? He didn't get KO'd by Porier.

There's also a real difference in going up in weightclass for one fight and moving up more permanently. He had a FW fight 4 months earlier and 3 months later..

Lws hit harder. Max is not a ko artist. He gets hit a lot, that’s why I think he is not gonna go far at lw.
 
nobody will pay to watch that again
