#5 News: Max Holloway may be forced to move up to Lightweight
Max Holloway was recently on The MMA Hour and revealed that he'd likely be forced to move up from Featherweight to the Lightweight Division in the near future.
Apparently, the UFC and USADA's new weight cutting rules have made it tougher for him to make the 145-pound limit, as a week out of the fight, he still carries around a ton of weight. Here's what he said regarding the same (*courtesy--MMAFighting*)--
“It’s just UFC with all this USADA, (the policing of) the weight cuts, you’ve got to be a certain weight when you’re checking in and blah blah blah — all of that medical stuff, that’s what I mean. If they start adding more medical stuff I probably would (move up)...I’m a big boy for featherweight, so 155 is going to happen. Sooner or later, we don’t know when, we’re just waiting. But when the time comes, it comes.”
