This new EA UFC 2 update makes us want to see Max Holloway get his long overdue UFC featherweight title shot. The only way to end fights from now is The Holloway and it’s glorious. Inspired by Holloway’s last two firefights with Jeremy Stephens and Ricardo Lamas, the developers at EA UFC had to pay tribute to the 24-year-old Hawaiian striker.
Thanks to the latest EA UFC 2 update you can now end rounds like Max Holloway; which means you can taunt your opponent and if he taunts back it basically locks the remainder of the round into stand and bang mode. No takedowns, no clinching, no stalling equals both fighters are forced to trade strikes like a blown Rocky movie punch exchange.
