In this interview from my radio show, Holloway discusses what's changed since their first fight, whether his future is at featherweight or lightweight, thoughts on the Conor McGregor-Khabib Nurmagomedov dustup on Twitter and so much more.

Blessed is a true fighter. No smack talk. No bs. Just a fighter.
LOL Wait till he Taunts his Opponent in the Octagon
Yeah he definitely smack talks though lol
FIGHT IQ is that a issue? It’s a fight, outside of the octagon he is respectful.
Max and Justin Gaethje real mma lives
And he's exciting fighter
How can you not like this guy
Swag
Charismatic
Humble
Amazing fighter
Straight up
All of the above.
can say the same for luke, mostly haha
Hell yeah. You forgot "young" . This kid is the future of mma.
Agreed. Pushing back against flat earth n climate change deniers as well, blessed is da real mvp
I like him. I dislike like his "best is blessed" saying. Cringe.

He just switched letters lol. It happens to everybody.
@@str8904 it is what it is
Gotta imagine Luke is feeling some real pride when Max says he really respects the breakdowns. That's as good as praise gets.
You could totally tell Luke came in his pants
DJ acknowledged Luke's breakdown as well. I think recently Adensanya too
john luongo 🤣😂🤣😂
yeah and did you see his interview with Brendan Schaub? He's blowing up
Luke gets called out by casuals "he never fought". While champions are complimenting him on his breakdowns
To be the best you got to beat the best and the best is blessed.

creative person why so mad? Lol Connor trigers you inbred like nothing else hahahahahaghahaha
Hey Max, do you know what time it is
Max: 10th island!!!!
But Max, thats not what I asked you
Max: it is what it is
this might be the funniest comment ever
Legend the comment
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man Max is so likeable
Holloway seems like a genuinely good dude.
It's awesome to see someone being real with all this crazy stuff going on.. the UFC needed this more than they know!! They should be paying this guy's!!
Mo Mo max makes great money, don’t get it twisted. But yes they should promote him and pay him more. I agree, very likable persona.
Does he make you kneak in the wees?
Spirit of Aloha is real brah lol 🤙🏽
It is so cool to see Max relaxed like that. Great interview!
Gustavo Ferroni relaxed and not kneak in the wees
Luke Thomas looks like a 7ft ex football player in the thumbnail
Hes bigger than Schaub
am 5’11 like Holloway and he’s looks tiny next to him lol looks at least 6’5 then
Luke Thomas is a 7ft Gorilla
Dylan Morgan he’s said he’s 6’4 a few times but def 260-280ish . Big ass dude no doubt.
Lol, I'm pretty sure max was sitting in the photo.
wow i love this dude, i had never heard a good interview with him, he's fucking delightful
"Get pass level 1." Damn Max. What a beast.
I can't be a bigger fan of Max Holloway, class, technique, humble... Warrior
Max is everything i love about mma!! Lets talk about climate change i aint fighting for free. What a true legend
I came to see the best, and the best is blessed
Most genuine fighter in the UFC and already one of the greats after just turning 27. Everybody who goes up in weight these days looks so much better so very excited to see Holloways performance
I absolutely love Max Holloway. Dude is a warrior in the true sense of the word. An inspiration and role model for any soul who wishes to be called a man
The UFC should give the Old Title Belt out for interim title fights and the New Belt for undisputed fights that way there is distinction between interim and undisputed!
Not a bad idea. 🤔
Love the idea! Problem is, the old belt is worth more. Champs would prefer the more valuable belt...
Good idea. However, I'd do the other way around. The new titles look cheaper and that's how the interim should look haha
They really didn't promote this fight like they should have.
Excellent conversation. Good to hear from Max airing it out. One of my favorite fighters in the UFC. Should be a great fight. I'm glad Max moved up for now. Very interested to see him perform.
Max is so real. Excited to be in the game Congrats Luke
it truly is the Blessed Era.
Max has came up the best way you could in mma put himself in the hardest spots maybe failed a few times but shit he has turned into a straight killer anyone who has done good against him needs to watch out notice mc nuggets hasn't even muttered his name because he knows what will happen max Imo has done everything better than Connor I hope he gets that rematch I reckon he drowns mc ball bag in 3 or 4 rounds
Most definitely brother.Good comments,I agree 100%.A lot of fighters now,on a completely different level to Mcnuggets.He hasn't evolved.Still relies on the same straight left counter.The one that destroyed Aldo and Alvarez.But where are those fighters now?Everyone else has evolved.Tony,Max,Khabib,top of the heap.All of them have more conditioning,mental fortitude,stamina,will power,then Mcnuggets.Max is definitely up there.His fight IQ and striking prowess,will be too much for Poirier.Dustin was lucky to beat Justin Gaethje,who himself,is in the upper echelon now.
@@polynikes9 yeah mate totally agree I wasn't impressed with porier either tbh should be a good match up tho seen a video of porier watching it back saying this and that was pretty funny I think max will wreck him on the stand up Eddie is a good fighter back in the day but now I reckon max would stop him too and he proved against aldi he could do it twice out struck him badly and embarrassed him loving the new max he's an animal and a problem for anyone at 155
Agreed mate this was my comment from the other day on a different video......
Max is without a doubt my favourite champion/fighter just because he will literally fight anyone and wont take the easy root to Greatness (cough cough Conor) I mean he defeated Aldo and was happy to prove he could do it again no problem, unlike someone (cough cough conor) he actually owns his division and fighters want to fight him to prove their the best not just because of some pay day which Conor always was that to fighters, low risk high reward and he only fought the ones he believed he had a chance against, never a true threat. Max is bringing back that old era of actual win streaks owning your division and earning the right "THE RIGHT" to take someones else's not having a few fights win a belt immediately go up. What horrible days thank fuck were back to actual monsters. Fair play though Conor was smart smart a good schemer he earned is fortune that way at least, give credit where credits due.
Was a good fight. They respected each other. Conor was conor.After that. Max turned into a mega badass. No whiskey deals. Still hungary.
Luke once again great interview. Shout out to Max for giving credit for all the hard you put in. Hands down the best at what you do. Second place cant even compare.
I honestly think that Luke Thomas is the best MMA reporter in the game
Epz tana
Fight breakdowns for sure
Definitely up there.
#1 🙌
He's really the only legit reporter. Ariel is a gossip hack and Schaub is a joke
@@haydeecastillo4621 I'd say Dan Hardy has the edge
"I was feeling neak in the wees" Hilarious.
CTE bruh
When he didn't fight Khabib my heart broke a little.
UFC, please book Max vs. Khabib!
if Max wins he will get Khabib next for sure.
@@lowfightiq Yes and the next return of Khabib may be in Abu dhabi . Can you imagine Conor going to middle east after his antics ?? haha At least Max is loved all around the world , it will be a great fight !!
Nah Tony is next!
Khabib won't have to fight Tony, hes not getting stripped so winner of max vs Dustin gets khabib when his suspension is up in September. Tony will have to happen after@Bomb La Tour
I don’t want to see max vs khabib, I like max too much
Dana needs to start promoting this kid as much as he did Conor... I dont know what hes waiting for. How can u not be a fan of this Str8 Savage?!?!?!
Max "Kneak in the Wees" Holloway. Love this guy.
Luke, doing some great work these days. You are a true MMA journalist, no smack, real just like Champ Max
Good to see Luke get his props from fighters.
I didn't care much about him at first,but he's starting to grow on me
“The Earth is not flat” he the goat for that lmao
Sho Jo mayn if you be quiet with that rubbish
10:07 I remember seeing that live!!! it was hilarious but also wholesome. helping a brother out.
This is gonna be one hell of a fight I hope it goes 5 rounds! Does Max slow down with another 10lbs? Can Dustin weather the onslaught barrage of strikes? Will Dustin be able to take him down? Holy Moly this is dope and Stylebender is on same card.
MrDee I bet max's cardio will be even better.
Awesome interview...Max is the man...I know Poirier is a warrior, but I can't see Max losing anytime soon to anybody...good work, Luke...you do a good job of letting guests talk...unlike Schaub.
Yeah less talking about fashion,dicksucks,coffee and Jordan's! More fight talk plz
Might lose to Khabib if he gets controlled on the ground.
Always nice to see the blessed one pop up on my newsfeed!
Aloha bradda 🤙🏼
Man what a great guy max is. Love what he said about holding Ortega’s hands up in the middle of the fight like “sometimes a guy needs some help” and we saw the same attitude and sportsmanship in his fight with Poirier last night
Max "neek in the wees" Holloway
@281 330 8004 not making fun of him it just cracked my ass up
He's always mixing up his words lolol Max is goat
CTE bruh
Beautiful interview, thanks guys.
"Kneak in the Wees". Lmao.
CTE bruh
@@MeetSuperDave thats not cte thats hawaii..
Classic Holloway. “Can’t wait for the doors of the ocadon- eh octadon to close “
Leave no turn unstoned
@@MeetSuperDave i dont think its cte, that shit happens to me all the time
I want max holloway to avenge his former loss and win. Hes awesome and a great guy. I was so worried for his health leading up to the fight vs brian Ortega.... iwish holloway the best
I like these interviews from Luke. Somehow this studio setting makes the interviews better.
Holloway is the best. Imagine being as good as him at 27, fighters like him and Whittaker haven't even reached his prime yet. That is a scary thought. His last performance was a thing of beauty.
To be the best you gotta beat the best, and the best is kneak in the wees.
I can’t wait for this fight wext neek!!!
Good one 😂
Finally!! this show has someone on it to make it watchable
Awesome stuff Luke not even fight week and we already get stuff like this
Triple OG MAX👊🏼
But he can’t fade Ferguson 👊🏼🇺🇸
At the end of the day this was a great interview.
We might see a Max 2.0 if that's possible.
The Hawaiian always puts on a stellar performance! ✴️
Man max is such an awesome person. I hate when im a fan of both fighters that are fighting eachother, especially when its such an important & meaningful fight): Dustin has paid his dues 10 fold & he has worked so hard & waited so long for a big opportunity like this. This is freaking torture lol.
I'm very excited to be able to watch 2 incredible human beings, both of whom are unbelievably skilled in their craft, showcase the culmination of years of learning, discipline, hard work, dedication and creativity in a competitive partnership in that octagon on fight night.
These men are both examples of what each & every one of us, young or old, male or female, should aspire to be more like, every single day❤
Love & positive prayers from, Sacramento❤(:
Yeah Dustin is such a savage fighter, one of the most entertaining fighters in UFC history. It's hard to see either man lose in this one. But I think that neither man will look bad in this fight. Edge of Wonder UA-cam channel! Hell yeah!
Luke is taking control now Good to see!
This fight is fucking dope, both fought as young prospects with big futures and now we see them as they're truly defining themselves in the game and, especially for Max, coming into their prime. I can't wait for the trilogy fight later down the line. And they're both good dudes as well, so awesome.
Luke Thomas is all class
Max will be the toughest match up for khabib by far. His range fighting is crazy and on top of that his pressure and cardio is out of this world. On the other side khabib is a bear wrestling mini ivan drago. I can’t wait for max to win the interim and than (respectfully) call out khabib.
Max is a fooking legend in Hawaii. A FOOKING legend.
Max is looking good and sounding sharp
Real champ Max 'big respect' Holloway
I think Max is the best fighter in UFC right now... I like Khabib, Jon, DC, all of them are fenomenal... but the way Max still grows is terrifying...
Huge guest!! Wish the audio was a bit better but great interview Luke!
This fight is going to be amazing
Dustin won't get past level 1
You shouldnt jinx it. It could be woodley vs maia with poirer trying desperately to get the takedown or even pull guard
@Kirk Landau nah i dont know that. It shoukdnt be, poirer has good boxing but if I was him, i would just try to get a takedown and piss holoway off by running away. So it literally could be like Maia Woodley
SicFromTheKush Dustin like to bang. I think if he knows he can get max down he will try but I think he’s gonna go for a KO. He’s a violent guy.
@J. D. hahahaha
Lomachenko is the boxer that Luke was saying Holloway resembles, right?
Wrong
I can kinda see it , with how they switch stances during punches but not sure if that’s who be meant, wish he was more clear.
Loma and Max are friends so possibly
RJ B that's what I thought
he's def. talking about Lomachenko
Max deserves everything.
That's the point he's making.. Max has earned everything
@@markmcguffin873 That's right. His love and devotion to his family, his respect and admiration of other fighters and what they've accomplished, his respect for others in general, his confidence and ability inside the octagon, the fact that he seems to be getting better with each fight, wanting to be the greatest ever while understanding the long road ahead of him, etc. In my mind, deserves all the happiness life could afford him.
@@Sup_Mate Well spoken brother. And let's face it, Max has a touch of gangster in him that MMA demands
Loving all the UA-cam content in the past few days
This the best MAX interview to date ! They vibin all da way through
Congratulations on the new addition to the family Luke
Holy moly luke your dwarfing our boy max
Luke Thomas is slowly becoming one of my favorite mma journalists
I've never seen Holloway so clear headed and healthy as in this interview. He looks great.
Max is a true MMA practitioner .. when he steps in that ring he is a different person from here.
10th ISLAND BABY!! Let's go!!
_What up Maximillian, righteous baby yeah definitely one of the best in the game hell yeah_
I am so glad I bought the signed poster for Holloway v Aldo 2, i turned 21 as the fight was ongoing! BLESSED ERA!!!
Holy shit Max just brought up climate change. I mean he was already my favorite fighter but this seals it. The best is blessed.
He looks into it
Eyyyyy my two favourite humans from the MMA world spending time together
Who else is in the room?!
Where are all the self proclaimed doctors talking about Max’s health now?? Did they all leave? Ahahaha. Rooting for ya Max!
We right here dawg, CTE symptoms were obviously from the rapid weight cut, pretty sure everyone is happy to see him healthy
Luke so confident lol.. "If and when you win"
my favorite fighter for years . his interviews are so much better now that he doesn't say " at the end of the day " every other sentence. max is the man.
Max, Dustin, AND Luke. So much respect for these guys, such good dudes.
Each Time MaX Blessed Talks I become a BIGGER FAN FAM ,,!!! KEEP THIS MAN IN YAWS MIND HE IS WORKING ON GREATNESS!!!!
Congratulations on the baby, Luke!!
Nice interview! Man, I really do respect Max. He’s such a good guy and a true warrior. No trashtalk no bullshit, it just is what it is. The next P4P number 1. How can someone not like him? Pure class, i’m fan!
More of this Luke!
Oh man what a champ max holloway is and what a personality. respect only to this man and his family. Luke you re amazing too man, everything Max said about you is true. Thank you for all the content.

Great interview right here
neak in the wees. put that on a t-shirt!... lol
Cheeee heeee lolol🤙🏽
At least he recognized his mistake. The President couldn't say origin, and he kept trying and failing instead of acknowledging that he misspoke, composed himself and corrected himself.
Great interview!!!
What a nice guy Max is , totally talented fighter as well
Holloway is one of the most likeable MMA fighters ever. So charming and genuine.
Good interview my man.
great interview!
Damn cant wait for the monday morning break down now
Two of the best in the game right here.
Max is such a Great guy, I hope he wins, class act and exceptional fighter.
Neak in the kwees 😂😂😂
