UFC champ Max Holloway surprised his mom with a brand new truck

UFC featherweight titleholder Max Holloway is sharing the wealth now that he’s one of the few fighters in the sport earning championship payouts.

Holloway (18-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC), who is scheduled to defend his belt for the first time against Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) in December’s UFC 218 headliner, recently struck an agreement on a new contract with the UFC. “Blessed” said he was happy with the terms of the deal, apparently to the point where he made a hefty purchase for his mother.

The Hawaiian splurged on a brand new Chevy Colorado for his mother, unbeknownst to her. He surprised her with the gift, and managed to document the moment for social media (via Instagram):

UFC 218 takes place Dec. 2 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Holloway vs. Edgar headlines the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Holloway, No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings, unified the title and became undisputed champion with a third-round TKO of Jose Aldo at UFC 212 in June. He puts his belt up for grabs for the first time against No. 3-ranked Edgar, a former lightweight champ who is coming off a dominant second-round TKO of Yair Rodriguez at UFC 211 in May.
