Taking on Gaethje at UFC 300
Holloway is scheduled to face Justin Gaethje in a lightweight bout at UFC 300 on April 13 in Las Vegas, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Holloway and Gaethje are currently on two-fight win streaks, though Alexander Volkanovski is the only person who has been able to take down Holloway since December 2019. The two are fairly evenly matched size-wise, though Holloway has far more experience fighting in the UFC.

Dominates in Singapore main event
Holloway defeated Chan Sung Jung via KO (punch) at 0:23 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
Holloway's dominance over everyone in the featherweight division not named Alexander Volkanovski continues. Entering as upwards of a -800 favorite, it was widely assumed Max would dominate the since-retired Jung, and for the most part, he did. Holloway ate a few big strikes here and there, but he handled them well and dished out more than his fair of punishment in return. Max has never been known as much of a finisher, but one right hand put Jung out in an instant. Even with the result, both fighters did enough to take home a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus when it was all said and done. Overall, it was another excellent effort in a fight in which Holloway had nothing to gain and everything to lose. Where Holloway goes from here remains an open question. The company has no incentive to book a fourth fight between he and Volkanovski despite the fact it's clear as day he's the second-best 145-pounder on the roster. Conor McGregor was the last man other than Volk to defeat Max at featherweight. That came on August 17, 2013, more than a decade ago.

Facing the Korean Zombie
Holloway will take on Chan Sung Jung in a featherweight fight at a UFC event in Singapore on Aug. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Holloway is coming off a bounce-back victory against Arnold Allen after Alexander Volkanovski got the best of him in 2022. The experienced fighter will now try to add a win against Chan Sung Jung, who also fell at the hands of Volkanovski in 2022. Look for Holloway to enter as a heavy favorite.

Another standout performance
Holloway defeated Arnold Allen via unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Holloway has been unable to solve the puzzle that is Alexander Volkanovski (three times), but he's handled everyone else in the division for nearly a decade now, with Allen becoming his latest victim in what was a competitive bout. Max has been in countless wars over the years, but it never changes the way he fights. He constantly seems to be out in front of his opposition. He fires off combinations when opportunities present themselves and is comfortable slowing the pace when that seems to be the smart play. The fact his cardio is among the best of all time certainly helps matters a ton, as does the fact he always eats everything thrown his way without issue. That said, Max's future is a bit cloudy because the UFC isn't going to book a fourth bout between him and Volkanovski any time soon. The last time he lost a featherweight fight to someone other than Volk was Conor McGregor, way back on August 17, 2013. That card was headlined by a Chael Sonnen submission win over Shogun Rua at TD Garden in Boston.

Fight with Arnold Allen on tap
Holloway (23-7-0) is slated to face Arnold Allen (19-1-0) in a featherweight bout set for the UFC's Fight Night event on April 15, Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Holloway's matchup with Allen is expected to serve as the headline fight for the April 15 event. After losing to current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski for the third straight time in his last trip to the Octagon back in July, Holloway won't yet move on from the 145-pound division, even though securing the belt will be a difficult endeavor while Volkanovski remains atop the pack. The 31-year-old will nonetheless look to keep his perfect 16-0 record against non-Volkanovski featherweight in tact when he takes on Allen, who is 10-0 since joining the UFC.
