ABU DHABI – Max Holloway is throwing his name into the hat. Following his dominant UFC on ABC 1 unanimous decision win over Calvin Kattar , Holloway (22-6 MMA, 18-6 UFC) expressed interest in serving as a backup fighter for the UFC 257 pay-per-view next Saturday. UFC lightweight contenders Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler, and Dan Hooker are all set to compete at the event – four of the five competitors Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) recently expressed potential interest in coming out of retirement to fight. While Holloway wants to be in the discussion, UFC president Dana White, on the other hand, is less keen on the idea. “I think he deserves to go home and take some time off,” White said at the UFC on ABC 1 post-fight news conference
