Max Holloway has many options to consider before his next fight, but Sean O'Malley threw two blockbusters.
On Saturday, the UFC returned to Louisiana for UFC 318, led by a BMF title fight between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier in what the Diamond's pension was.
After five narrow rounds, the unanimous decision was awarded to Holloway who made UFC history in the UFC history process by becoming the first hunter who successfully defended the BMF title.
'Blessed' Holloway was praised by his former rival Alexander Volkanovski who credited him from the return of his UFC 308 Ko loss to Ilia Topuria.

Sean O'Malley makes wild suggestions for the next fight from Holloway
Immediately after the fight, the former Feeder Wain champion demanded a title Rematch against Topuria, which now has the lightweight belt.
Not long after, Topuria responded to Holloway's victory and claimed that he was still the BMF champion after he had hit Holloway, even though the title had not been on the line.
UFC boss Dana White commented on the potential of a rematch between Holloway and Topuria, and claims that the Hawaiian is in a great position to fight for the title.
Nevertheless, one of the biggest stars of the Promotion Sean O'Malley has thrown two different fights for the former champion, and both will be well received by the fans.
“Wow! I am so happy that none of them was eliminated, I thought it was the perfect way to end it, I mean clearly for Dustin, he wanted to win the victory there, but God, that was such a sick fight,” responded O'Malley in a video on his YouTube channel.
“Max Holloway officially on 155 pounds, I love Max on 155 pounds, so who is the next for Holloway on 155 pounds? There is clearly Arman Tsarukyan. Imagine Max vs Charles (Oliveira) that AF – Sweet Fight are – Sweet Fight at 155LBS.
“Ooo, Paddy (Pimblett) vs Max Holloway on 155 pounds, OOO,” O'Malley continued.
What is the most likely next fight by Max Holloway?
During the UFC 318 Post-Fight Press Conference, Dana White admitted that he loves both Holloway vs Topuria and Holloway vs Charles Oliveira.
Unfortunately for the fan base, a fight between Holloway and Paddy Pimblett seems unlikely at the moment, despite the impressive performance of Pimblett against Michael Chandler in the previous time out.
So far, White has hesitated hesitantly to confirm who will fight 'El Matador', but after 'blessed' performance this weekend, he was able to be at the top of the list.
