Max Holloway (27-8) has been with the UFC since 2012. If there’s a stat that the UFC tracks, chances are Holloway is among the leaders. He holds the UFC featherweight record for wins (20), finishes (11), knockouts (nine), win streak (13 straight), total fight time (6:58:57), significant strikes landed (2,971), and total strikes landed (3,180). Holloway’s overall UFC records include significant strikes landed (3,457) and total strikes landed (3,706).
Holloway’s run as UFC featherweight champ began in June 2017 when he knocked out Jose Aldo. Holloway entered that contest as the interim champ, a belt he won by knocking out Anthony Pettis in December 2016. He defended his title against Aldo (TKO), Brian Ortega (TKO), and Frankie Edgar (decision). He also attempted to win the interim UFC lightweight belt during that run, but he fell short, dropping a decision to Dustin Poirier.
Holloway’s championship run ended in December 2019 when Alexander Volkanovski beat him by decision. Volkanovski retained the title in an immediate rematch.
Wins over Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodriguez earned Holloway another shot at Volkanovski and his title in July 2022, but the champ retained his belt with a decision win.
Holloway followed that setback with wins over Arnold Allen, the Korean Zombie, and Justin Gaethje. The Gaethje victory, a fight that many voted “Fight of the Year” and “Knockout of the Year,” earned Holloway the BMF title. That fight took place at 155 pounds.
Holloway followed his BMF title win with the first knockout loss of his career, falling to Ilia Topuria in a UFC featherweight title fight in October 2024.
In his most recent outing, Holloway retained the BMF title with a unanimous decision win over Dustin Poirier, who Holloway had lost to in his UFC debut in 2012. That matchup headlined the UFC 318 pay-per-view in July 2025.

Charles Oliveira (36-11-0-1) has been fighting with the UFC since 2010. He won the vacant lightweight title with his win over Michael Chandler in May 2021. He defended the title once, beating Dustin Poirier. He was booked to face Justin Gaethje in his second title defense, but Oliveira missed weight for that fight, which he won by submission, losing the title on the scale.
Oliveira had a chance to regain the belt in October 2022, but Islam Makhachev submitted him and claimed the vacant belt. Since that loss, Oliveira is 2-3, beating Beneil Dariush by TKO in June 2023, losing to Arman Tsarukyan via split decision in April of this year and then defeating Chandler in November 2024.
In June 2025, Oliveira fought Ilia Topuria for the vacant UFC 155-pound title. Topuria won that contest via first-round knockout.
The ex-champ bounced back from that setback with an October submission win over Mateusz Gamrot in Brazil.
In their first meeting, which took place in August 2015, Holloway defeated Oliveira via first-round TKO when a neck injury prevented Oliveira from continuing past the 1:39 mark.
