Max Holloway could not wait until July 11. The Hawaiian, who graces the cover of EA SPORTS UFC 6 and has his own Hall of Legends game mode, revealed exactly where his mind is ahead of UFC 329 when he picked Conor McGregor as his very first opponent while playing the game for the first time.
Max Holloway Picks Conor McGregor and Finishes Him
Given a free choice of opponent on his first-ever run through UFC 6, Max Holloway wasted no time selecting Conor McGregor as his opponent. After choosing the matchup and equipping the Irishman with his signature green shorts, ‘Blessed’ scored a TKO victory in EA SPORTS UFC® 6 before celebrating the win. Smiling after putting away ‘The Notorious,’ Holloway kept his reaction short and sweet:
“Maybe, you know, we’re just speaking it to fruition. That’s how we do it. The first win of UFC 6 on any copy. There you go.”
The Hall of Legends Mode Built Around Max Holloway’s Story
Beyond the Conor McGregor moment, Max Holloway was genuinely moved by EA’s Hall of Legends mode, which allows players to relive iconic moments from the careers of Holloway, Alex Pereira, and Weili Zhang through authentic fight scenarios inspired by real UFC bouts.
Designed to showcase different techniques and matchup styles, the mode offers a deeper look into each fighter’s journey. Holloway’s chapter is a heartfelt tribute to Hawaiian culture, his family, and his rise from humble beginnings in Waianae to becoming one of the greatest featherweights in UFC history.
Impressed by the attention to detail, ‘Blessed’ even said everyone who worked on the game deserved a raise, adding that fans would be blown away by the experience.
The virtual version is done. The real one happens July 11 at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, and Holloway has already shown you exactly how he expects it to end.
