Max Holloway in tears about wildfires: “I go in with Hawaii on my back, and it feels heavier now'

Max Holloway is brought to tears talking about the Maui fires, and dedicates his fight on Saturday to all those struggling in Hawaii.

Damn I’ve never seen Max like this. I feel for him & the Hawaiian people. Wishing him the best of luck in the cage and outside the cage

It’s hard to not love Max, he’s just true to the core and as genuine as can be. I’m hoping he can prove he’s still the second best in the division.

emotion is breaking my really feel for him and everyone affected by this tragedy

[joshuahoops]

Jesus if this doesn’t make you tear up idk what does! Max is a legend!

[leonardhill]

This man is a walking legend…he’s poetry in motion. Staying in the fight game for as long as he has been is in itself a testament of his character. His dedication and love for his people is second to none and a true man can wear his heart on his sleeve without the fear of ridicule and at the same time turn that emotion into the champion he is when he enters the octagon on Saturday. Max you are and always have been my favorite fighter and someday when you do retire your name will be right up there with all the greats. You are an innovator and a great ambassador for Mixed Martial Arts forever! Peace

I love Max so much man, the guy always wears his heart on his sleeve and is always so real and compassionate. It hurts to see him hurting the way he is but I really hope he knows that he has so much love and support from the MMA community. We’re all praying for Maui and the people there. One love ❤️

I love this guy. His pain is heartfelt. Such a legend.

[erraticjoe]

Max is the epitome of a champion through and through. He carries himself in and out of the ring and shows compassion to his fellow Hawaiians. A killer on the outside, a gentlemen on the inside. Praying for your country's safe future. <3

As a Hawaiian I have to say max is truly an amazing human being all around. Representing us and carry us on his back! ❤️

[kickdawson]

Of all the ups and downs he’s had in his career, winning the belt, defending it, losing it and trying to regain it we’ve never seen emotion from Max like this. The love he has for his people is bigger than any personal/professional triumph or setback, what a man. I wish him and the people of Maui nothing but the best.

Max Holloway is truly blessed both upstairs and downstairs. He's a handsome young man and only getting better.
