STOCKHOLM – As Max Holloway unloaded punch after punch on an obviously dazed Akira Corassani, the Hawaiian said there was one thought going through his mind: When is somebody going to stop this fight? “I was like, ‘What is going on?’” Holloway said. “I was thinking, ‘Stop this fight, already.’ But the refs tell us don’t stop until they touch us. “This is a rough sport, so you’ve got to keep going. I’m just happy I got the finish.” Holloway (11-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Corassani (12-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) met on the main card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 53 event, which took place at Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe. It was actually Corassani who seemed to have success early, pulling the trigger a little quicker than Holloway and finding the target with big overhand shots
