Max Holloway wants to be remembered as one of the best fighters of all-time.<\/p>\n

In today’s MMA, Holloway knows everyone is chasing the big money fights and crossover fights with boxers<\/a>. Yet, for the Hawaiian, he says he is about building a legacy as he knows the money fights will eventually come if he continues to win.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re in a time where everybody\u2019s trying to get big-money fights,\u201d Max Holloway said to Yahoo! Sports<\/a>. “They\u2019re trying to cut the line in front of so many things. They\u2019re trying to shortcut it. They want that one [big] fight and they\u2019re good. But that\u2019s not sustainable. I\u2019m about building a legacy and living a legacy and letting the ‘Blessed Era’ continue. All these money fights are going to come. It\u2019s going to come. It\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n

“You have to do your job and keep winning, and that\u2019s what I keep doing. It\u2019s kind of funny because everybody says, ‘Who\u2019s next after this? Who\u2019s next after that?’ I don\u2019t know,” Max Holloway continued. That\u2019s my job, but every two weeks in this sport, we\u2019ve got a new face that\u2019s popping, popping out of nowhere.”<\/p>\n

Max Holloway has seemingly done that as he has reigned over the featherweight division for years. He won the interim belt at UFC 206 with a TKO win over Anthony Pettis. He then had back-to-back TKO wins over Jose Aldo to win the undisputed title then defend it. He has since beaten Brian Ortega and Frankie Edgar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Max Holloway, the next step in his cementing legacy is by taking out Alexander Volkanovski<\/a> in the co-main event of UFC 245<\/a>. After that, he knows there will be another featherweight contender to take out and when the time is right, he knows he and Khabib Nurmagomedov will finally meet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
