Even though Holloway is younger, I dont see that there is much for him in UFC. If he wants to stay as a forever gatekeeper, make money, then its ok. He can fight champions, top guys and play be knocked out or not roulette. Too late for him to become a featherweight champ, too late to become a lightweight champ. Probably, UFC would give Holloway for new prospects to build name. Maxato would gain damage, others get recognition and money. Imho it not the bet finale for a legend.

True... But I could also see a scenario that could bring him to a title fight at 155 after winning against Poirier which brought Holloway to the top 5. And with Holloway being an established fighter in the UFC, he'll be given this privilege.

Pundits and the journos could make a case that the weight cut was already taking a toll on Holloway and that 155 is more ideal for him now. I mean yeah, it's prolly right to say so but would do I think it makes case for Holloway to win the 155 title. No... But he'll prolly make more than two rounds tho. Cheesy

And would be cool to see Topuria get the BMF thingy and go fight Makhachev at 170 with Topuria as the BMF guy and Islam the 170 champ.
