The main event saw Oliveria starting off well but eventually gripping his collarbone in pain, before dropping off on his back due to repeated punches on the behalf of Holloway. The referee stopped the fight due to injury as Oliveria wished not to continue and awarded Holloway his seventh straight consecutive win and is now tied with Connor Mcgregor.
Post-fight Max had this to say, “Everybody send your prayers to Charles. It’s a part of the sport. It’s sad to see that happen. I hope he can have a full recovery.”
On deserving a shot at the title, he says, “People keep saying this might be a title contention shot. But I believe one guy deserves it, and that’s Frankie Edgar. So UFC, why not (do) UFC Hawaii. Max Holloway (vs.) Frankie Edgar (at) Aloha Stadium.
Holloway last loss was to current interim featherweight champion Connor McGregor, who would be facing Jose Also in a mega fight. Below is the video of that bout:
