He’s got a lot of time to prepare for this. The first time when he fought at 55, when he fought Dustin was a short notice fight. He didn’t really have time to bulk up. Like I don’t know how short notice it was but he didn’t bulk up. I think he just tried to fight.
Rogan made it clear that in the first outing against Dustin Poirier in the lightweight division Holloway did not have the time to put on muscle in the short time span. Max ultimately lost the fight to the veteran. But this time around Max is very well prepared according to the photos doing rounds on the internet where the Hawaiian looks bulked up.
