Max Holloway said he’s not particularly fond of the way in which many of his fellow fighters have gleefully reacted to the recent loss of UFC prospect Sage Northcutt . Why is Holloway (15-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) sympathetic toward the 19-year-old Northcutt following his second-round submission loss to Bryan Barberena at UFC on FOX 18 this past weekend? Mainly because he knows how it feels. “Blessed” made his UFC debut at 19, as well, and was humiliated in the form of a dominant first-round submission loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 143. Many people could have written Holloway off after the loss, he said.
