He then encouraged fans to use the hashtag #WheresJoseWaldo on social media, referencing Aldo&#8217;s regrettable tendency to pull out of fights.<\/p>\n<p>During his UFC 206 post-fight press conference, Holloway once again touched on Aldo&#8217;s tendency to withdraw from fights. Given that he can&#8217;t be sure Aldo will show up for a possible UFC 208 bout, he backtracked, saying he&#8217;s not sure he wants to give up Christmas and his son&#8217;s birthday to train for a fight that might not happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162372\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS.png\" alt=\"Max Holloway\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Max-Holloway-WINS-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;You know, I said it in there, February you know,&#8221; Holloway told the media &#8220;But when everything was slowing down I was in the back.
