According to the 33-year old, Max Holloway was an absolute beast.

"I want to be active. I want to go up in the ranks and be a double champ. I will keep two divisions busy.
"Charles [Oliveira], whoever wins that belt, no offense, I'd love the opportunity to move up and get that double champ status."
