MMA Squared: I’m not saying Max Holloway is a gatekeeper, but… this is the 3rd time

Max Holloway has done it again, proving to be the gatekeeper to Featherweight gold. But is gatekeeper too derogatory a term? Maybe he’s more like the bouncer at a real high end club, that those guys from SNL used to go to and dance to What Is Love?

I’ve also got to back up Brandon Royval on his demand to be a main card fighter, there were at least two fights on the main card he could have swapped with. Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you Wednesday.

There was a moment right as the fight ended where Max seemed to still be in kill-mode and it was cool seeing Arnold Allen recognize that and give him a moment to power down.
