Max Holloway Knocked Out for First Time in UFC 308 Main Event

Holloway Loses to Tsarukyan in Decisive Match

In a shocking turn of events, Max Holloway was knocked out for the first time in his UFC career at UFC 308. Arnold Allen defeated Holloway in the main event of the night, handing the former featherweight champion his first loss in nearly six years.

Holloway was caught with a devastating right hand in the third round that sent him crashing to the canvas. Allen followed up with a series of ground strikes before the referee stopped the fight.

The loss is a major setback for Holloway, who was considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He had won 13 straight fights before Saturday's defeat.

Holloway's Future Uncertain

It is unclear what the future holds for Holloway after this loss. He is still one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, but he will need to rebound from this defeat if he wants to regain his title.

Holloway could potentially move up to lightweight, where he would face a new set of challenges. However, he has also expressed interest in staying at featherweight and avenging his loss to Allen.

Allen's Stock Rises

Allen's victory over Holloway was a major upset, but it also showed that he is a legitimate contender in the featherweight division.

Allen has now won eight straight fights, and he is one of the most exciting young fighters in the UFC. He has a powerful striking game and excellent grappling skills.

It will be interesting to see what is next for Allen. He could potentially challenge for the featherweight title in his next fight.

Impact on the Featherweight Division

Holloway's loss has a major impact on the featherweight division. He was the champion for over two years, and his defeat creates a new opportunity for other fighters in the division.

Alexander Volkanovski is now the undisputed featherweight champion, but he will face a number of challengers in the coming months.

Allen is one of the most likely contenders for the title, but other fighters such as Brian Ortega and Josh Emmett could also be in the mix.

The featherweight division is one of the most exciting in the UFC, and the recent events have made it even more unpredictable.
