Max Holloway’s impressive list of UFC stats and records

On Saturday, October 26, Max Holloway looks to regain the UFC featherweight title when he takes on current champion Ilia Topuria in the main event of the UFC 308 fight card. Holloway made his UFC debut with a submission loss to Dustin Poirier in February 2012. Today, the 32-year-old has a 26-7 record with the promotion and a stint as UFC 145-pound champion. During his time with the UFC, Holloway has written his name into the UFC record book many times.

Below we look at Holloway’s list of UFC records, both overall and as a featherweight competitor. There’s a better-than-average chance he’ll add to his long list of accomplishments at UFC 308.

At UFC 308, Holloway, who held the UFC featherweight title between June 3, 2017 and December 2019, is looking to get that title back around his waist. Holloway has fought for the UFC’s 145-pound crown twice since his loss to Alexander Volkanovski in 2019. Holloway fell short in both matches, losing by split decision to Volkanovski in July 2020 and dropping a unanimous decision to Volkanovski in July 2022.

Holloway bounced back from his last loss to Volkanovski with three straight wins. His most recent victory was his UFC 300 knockout of Justin Gaethje for the ceremonial BMF title in a lightweight bout. Holloway’s stoppage came literally in the final second of the fifth round. For this win, he received Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night awards, earning him an additional $600,000 for his efforts that evening in April of that year.

Topuria (15-0) will attempt to defend his UFC featherweight title for the first time on Saturday. He won the belt in February with a spectacular second-round knockout of Volkanovski. The win earned Topuria a Performance of the Night bonus.
