Max Holloway cut his interview with Joe Rogan Short and stormed out of the cage after he had dominated one of the most unique hunters ever.
On July 19, Max Holloway returns to the Octagon for the first time since his brutal Ko -loss for Ilia Topuria on UFC 308, when he accepts Dustin Poirier in the Main Event of UFC 318.
Holloway and Poirier met for the first time when 'blessed' was only 19 years old and made his UFC debut, and Poirier almost broke his arm in two when he submitted him in the first round.
The two met again in 2019 when they clashed in front of the interim light weight title, and again Poirier took the victory. And for their trilogy in Louisiana, Holloway is aimed at avoiding UFC history by losing two trilogies.

Max Holloway brutalized one of the most unique hunters of the UFC ever
The Hawaiian is consistently credited as one of the largest featherweight hunters who ever step into the UFC cage, not only because of his exciting fighting style, but also because of the hunters he has defeated.
After having suffered back-to-back losses to Dennis Bermudez and Conor McGregor, Holloway went over a record environment of scoring 11 featherweight victories in a row.
And one of them came across one of the most unique hunters that the sport has ever seen in Anthony Pettis. After winning nine impressive victories, Holloway received an interim title fight against the former champion at UFC 206.
Despite that, there was drama for their fight when 'Showtime' missed Pettis during the official weightings, so he did not qualify to win the interim title.
However, that did not matter, because during the fight, 'blessed' completely dominated the former champion at the feet, with the help of his dominant boxing and footwork to beat Pettis over different rounds.
And then in the third round, Holloway landed a huge body kick and right hand, which pushed Pettis back against the fence where he then folded several powerful shots on the body and head, folded him to the ground.
“Pettis is in trouble, Holloway pours it, he melts it, that's it. Wow! Excellent! Wow! Just incredible, what a performance of Max Holloway,” Joe Rogan responded to the comment.
Max Holloway's destruction of Anthony Pettis was so impressive that Joe Rogan could only say “wow” again 😱
That interim title was his first taste of UFC Gold …

Holloway has cut an interview with Rogan Short and stormed from Cage after setting up Aldo Fight
After his dominant performance, Holloway ensured that he used his time on the microphone and went inside and undisputed champion, Jose Aldo.
And after he had called for a $ 50,000 bonus from Dana White, Holloway cut his interview with Rogan Short and rushed out of the Octagon.
“I asked you earlier this week, we couldn't find Aldo, so I began to call him Waldo, Jose Waldo,, tell him that he had to meet me in Brooklyn in February, let's get the F – Real (title).
“Shoutout to Anthony Pettis … And Dana White, that's 50Gs there, that man has never stopped before,” said Holloway as he stormed out of the cage.
“Congratulations on a great victory Max Holloway, Max Holloway left the building,” Rogan responded.
