Max Holloway, the beloved Hawaiian fan favorite, has revealed a disappointing timeline for his return to the Octagon. An injury sustained at UFC 318 appears to have sidelined the former featherweight champion until 2026.
A Painful Setback for “Blessed”
Holloway shared the unfortunate news in a recent video posted to his YouTube channel, expressing his frustration with the lingering pain in his right hand. ”My right hand still hurts,” he stated candidly. ”If you have hopes of me fighting before the end of the year, it’s probably not gonna happen.”
Seeking Expert Opinion
The former champion is actively seeking medical advice to address the injury. “I’m seeing a specialist some time this week and I already met with my doctor and now I’ve got to meet a specialist,” Holloway explained. Regrettably, the initial outlook isn’t promising for a fight before the year concludes.
Uncertainty Clouds the Future
The extent of the injury and its impact on his fighting career remain uncertain. “What’s next, I couldn’t tell you, this stupid injury has pushed things back,” Holloway admitted, visibly showing his injured right hand in the video. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates on “Blessed’s” recovery and his eventual return to the UFC.
