His words carried the weight of someone who has been through countless wars inside the octagon. <\/p> Holloway revealed that he’s thinking about hanging up his gloves within the next two to three years, with maybe four or five fights left in his career. For a fighter who once seemed invincible, hearing him discuss his exit strategy feels like watching the sun set on a legendary career.Holloway’s retirement timeline isn’t based on age alone but on his ability to compete with elite fighters.

If I could tell you right now I would think I’d have two more years, maybe like four fights, maybe five fights, two, three more years, but we’ll see what happens.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Max Holloway Reveals His Potential Retirement Timeline <\/h2>
