Max Holloway Not Sure About Jose Aldo Fight at UFC 208

Max Holloway spoke last night following his win over Anthony Pettis at UFC 206. Highlights are below:

On not being keen on a fight with Jose Aldo at UFC 208: “I don’t want to give up my son’s birthday and Christmas for Feb. 11, and (Aldo) don’t show up. This guy has a knack for not showing up to the fights. I’ve got to talk to (UFC President) Dana White first, man. I’ve got a brunch. I want to sit down with him and (UFC matchmaker) Sean Shelby, and we can talk some business.”

On Aldo: “For all I know, that mother(expletive) (Aldo) is always getting hurt and pulling out. This might as well have been the true belt. Most true fans know the story. Conor’s coach said I’m the best 145-er in the world, and Jose is saying he wants to retire, un-retire, then he gets the belt, and then he wants to go up a weight class. I don’t know. Most true fans know the storylines, and most true fans said this should be for the belt.”

On his next fight: “I ain’t over here begging for fights. If (McGregor) wants to fight me, he can come fight me. You’ve got so many guys begging on their knees to fight him. If he wants to fight me, he can come see me. If you want to fight the best, you come fight ‘Blessed.’”
