Max Holloway is currently the youngest fighter on the UFC roster. He is an incredibly exciting young talent. (Go watch his YouTube highlight reel!) He is also a great kid. We were able to do a short interview with him and you can tell in his answers that he is just a happy young guy enjoying his success and his ride through the number one MMA promotion in the world.
CR: Hey Max! It’s a great pleasure and honor to have an
interview with you! We just have a few questions for you. So, you are facing a tough fighter in Pat Schilling on
June 1st for the Ultimate Fighter Live Finale. 1) How has training been
going? And what have you done differently in this training camp to prepare for
Schilling?
Max: Training been going great feeling stronger and faster.
Differently I am doing more jiu jitsu and wrestling for this fight. Putting in
a lil more time in both areas.
2) CR: For your UFC debut you had quite a unique experience. You
are only 20 years old, only 4 fights under your belt and you were called on
short notice to fight a top contender in Dustin Poirier. Describe that overall
experience. How excited were you? What were your emotions throughout that
process?
Max: The experience was pretty crazy! It was everything I thought
it would be and much more! I was pretty excited words couldn't describe how I
was feeling! The day I got my contract official was the same day my son was
born so it was a memorable day! The emotions was all over the place lol
3) CR: It seems that you are a very spiritual person. How does
that affect your MMA career?
Max: I believe it is a big affect. I'm at a place where people
train for years to be and only being 20 if you don't believe in blessings it’s
cool, more for me hahaha.
4) CR: Your striking seems extremely advanced for someone only
20 years old. When and how did you get started in MMA?
Max: I started at the age of 16 I came up from a garage gym.
5) CR: How do you see your fight with Pat Schilling playing out?
Max: Ideally I would like to keep it on the feet but you never
know. We will have to see fight night!
6) CR: After you win this fight, what’s next for Max Holloway in
the UFC?
Max: You know my goal is to get the W
first then after that I’ll fight whoever UFC want me too. I just wanna put on a
good show!
Thank you guys!
CR: We thank you so much for taking your time to do this
interview. We can’t wait to see your next fight and your very promising future
playing out. You are an extremely exciting fighter and you have fans here at
Championship Rounds! Good luck at the Ultimate Fighter Live Finale!
