Its a sad day for the fight game as the news broke out that Max Holloway won't be fighting in this weeks event at UFC 226. I'm super surprised and feel very bad for Brian Ortega who was left without an opponent just 3 days before the fight. No word how this plays out yet, will Brian stay on the card and fight someone else? We had the chance to see what happened to Frankie Edgard after Max pulled out, short notice fights are no good in my opinion. This was trending to be one of the biggest featherweight fights after Mcgregor:Aldo.
The official statement from Holloway camp
All the best and a quick recovery for Max!

Yea, I was bummed too, but hope he is good health wise.
Yes, unfortunate. 3 times this year poor guy. He was looking all funky at the presser. I just hope he comes back this year healthy and ready to fight!
Dangerous stuff .... I been reading he got water poisoning.
Yes, bad weight cut issues
