Max Holloway Career Earnings In UFC
Max Holloway career earnings in the UFC total up to more than $3.2 million.
Holloway, 27, is one of the most beloved mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters in the world.
The Hawaii-bred brawler became the youngest fighter on the UFC roster when he made his debut as a replacement for an injured Ricardo Lamas at UFC 143 on February 4, 2012.
Holloway would lose to Dustin Poirier in that bout by submission in the very first round, but he did not let that discourage him.

After the loss, Holloway went on to win three straight matches before being beaten by Dennis Bermudez in a 2013 bout that many felt he had actually won.
Next Holloway would face Conor McGregor on August 17, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 26 – a fight he would go on to lose by a unanimous decision.
