Max Holloway Eyes Middleweight Fight

Max Holloway will make his welterweight debut against Conor McGregor at UFC 329 on July 11.

Holloway has plans to fight at middleweight before hanging up his gloves, according to UFC commentator Jon Anik.

Anik claims Holloway told him about his middleweight plans around 8 or 9 years ago.

Holloway moved up to lightweight for a BMF title fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in 2024.

He knocked out Gaethje in an iconic last-round buzzer beater.

Holloway decided to stay put at lightweight, where he came up short in a title bid against Ilia Topuria.

He rebounded from the loss by beating Dustin Poirier in the latter's retirement fight last year.

The 34-year-old Holloway will face Conor McGregor, who is returning from five years of inactivity, at UFC 329.

Holloway has since lost his BMF title to Charles Oliveira this past March.

Holloway's frame will be put to the test as he makes his debut at 170 pounds.

Jon Anik is fascinated to see how Holloway will look as a UFC welterweight.

The fight is scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 11.
