Holloway has options, so who should the featherweight champ fight next?
Max Holloway found a way to extend his fight win streak, which now stands at 13 after beating Brian Ortega to defend his undisputed featherweight strap.
Holloway made his return to the Octagon after a long time away due to injury and, whatever other health issues he ran into. Holloway’s health was a topic of discussion before UFC 231 as well, but nonetheless, Holloway turned in yet another impressive performance. If not for the chin and the heart of Brian Ortega, the fight would have been over much sooner than it was. Doctors called a stoppage at the end of round 4 due to swelling on Ortega’s eye that closed the eye completely.
Defeating Ortega means Holloway has no contenders to fight next without a few title eliminator matchups. However, Holloway has become a star for the organization, so the options are endless.
