Max Holloway was promoted to brown belt today by Rylan Lizares at Gracie Technics Honolulu. The Hawaiian native has had a fantastic MMA career and is best known for his explosive hands. Nonetheless, to be the best in the UFC you need to be well-rounded these days and that’s exactly what Holloway is training BJJ for.
Interestingly, Holloway has two submission victories to his name throughout his professional MMA career. This was a guillotine vs Cub Swanson and another guillotine choke against Andre Fili. Both of these victories came in the earlier days of Holloways UFC career and prove that he is more than just a striker. Upon receiving the belt, he said “A wise man once said. “All the time you put on the mat is one thing no one will ever be able to take away from you”
