Combat Profile

Max Holloway is a technical boxing savant who sets an unprecedented pace with his volume striking and ironclad chin. Fighting out of X1 Sports in Hawaii, "Blessed" utilizes his unique stance to land punches from impossible angles while systematically dismantling opponents over five rounds. His legendary cardio allows him to increase his output as the fight progresses, famously demonstrated in his barnburner against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.

Tactical Advantage

Holloway dominates opponents who cannot match his output or struggle to cut off the cage, as he picks them apart with jabs and straight rights. He excels at trapping fighters along the fence where his rapid combinations overwhelm them defensively, making him a nightmare for slower plodders. While he is hittable, his durability ensures he can trade effectively, exploiting any lapse in guard to land fight-altering strikes in the later stages.
