Waianae’s Max Holloway will put his nine-fight winning streak on the line against former UFC world lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 206 on Saturday, Dec. 10, in Toronto.
Holloway (16-3, 12-3 UFC) is the No. 3-ranked fighter at 145 pounds and hasn’t lost since a unanimous decision to current featherweight champion Conor McGregor in August 2013.
Pettis (19-5, 6-4), who also held the WEC world lightweight title, has lost three of his last four fights and is coming off a submission victory in the third round over Charles Oliveira in his 145-pound debut in the UFC.
Holloway is the only fighter in UFC history to win nine fights in a row without receiving a title shot.
UFC 206 is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Daniel Cormier and No. 1-ranked challenger Anthony Johnson.
