“I saw him in Dublin when I was up there for Louis’ (Smolka) fight and I told him when is this UFC Hawaii going down? And before he brushed me off, but now he looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing kid. It’s closer than you think,’” Holloway said. “So, we’ll see what happens. I’m excited he’s talking about it more. Before, he’d brush it off. He wouldn’t even bring it up. Now he’s talking about it and saying that they have something under wraps. Holloway said.
