Tom Taylor - June 5, 2017
Last Saturday, in the main event of UFC 212, Max Holloway ushered in a new era in the UFC featherweight division by taking out once dominant champion Jose Aldo with third-round punches. While many new champions are quick to call for money fights, Holloway quickly made it clear that this will not be his focus. Instead, he plans to channel Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and defend his new title as many times as possible. When it comes to opponents for his first title defense, there seems to be two men at the top of the list. One is Cub Swanson, who Holloway has defeated before. Swanson has been voraciously campaigning for the fight on social media over the last 48 hours. The other is Frankie Edgar, one of the few top featherweights Holloway is yet to fight.

Max Holloway responds to strange, upside-down UFC 212 poster
Tom Taylor - May 9, 2017
Yesterday, the UFC released the official poster for UFC 212, which will be headlined by a featherweight title unification bout between undisputed champ Jose Aldo, and interim champ Max Holloway.

UFC light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier, for example, did so when he first saw the official poster for UFC 210, which showed him, superimposed in front of a massive Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. Given this, some fans expected a negative reaction from Holloway – the upside-down party on this strange UFC 212 poster.
