6. Max Holloway
Max Holloway has spent a decent amount of time at the top. As the former featherweight champion, Holloway has felt the weight and pressure of holding that belt on his back. As a proud dad, he also knows how to deal with the pressure of having a family while holding a very time-consuming profession. He has a strong back, with some awesome tattoos on it.
“My second tattoo was my wings, I was 18,” Holloway told GQ. “It’s good and bad, you know, angel gargoyle wing. It’s kind of like a yin and yang thing, you know, that tattoo. That tattoo is like, it’s balance. In this world we need balance, we need peace, you know. That’s why I got my back tattoo. Took four hours, and we just did it in one session, straight. You can’t stop, cause if I was stopping, I wasn’t coming back, that thing was so sore, I kept telling myself, but it was fun.”
The wings have become a symbol of Holloway. He seems like the nicest guy outside of the cage but when he gets in the is a destroyer. A happy guy from Hawaii who smiles all the time and flip the switch and there is a killer waiting to come out.
