“I feel great, man. There’s so much science, I have Transparent Labs now, they keep my body in top shape, taking the right supplements, sleeping well, I do a bunch of other recovery stuff, this is the best I’ve ever felt,” Holloway said on his YouTube channel. “When I was younger, I felt like this but no recovery; so, a little bit older now, you’ve got to be smart, take care of your body a bit more and just take the right steps to make it to the Octagon.”
“I learned a lot about my body over the years,” Holloway continued. “When I was younger I could recover and take nothing, I had no sleep coming to workout, now I’ve got to get sleep, sleep is very important, supplements, vitamins all that is very important. And just eating well. Young Max, brother, I would eat McDonald’s, I’d eat whatever I wanted to eat, Taco Bell, now I eat those kinds of foods and I’m stuck in the bathroom for a while, I learned a lot.”

“It definitely doesn’t look like a pay-per-view card, absolutely,” Hardy told Submission Radio. “I think there’s some fun fights on it. For me, I think the most interesting one, the most probably well-balanced and well-matched one is the Drew Dober-[Michael] Johnson fight. As soon as I saw that, I thought to myself that is just a fireworks fight because they both take a lot of chances and sometimes make bad decisions and that could backfire. But for me, that’s a really interesting matchup.
“Some of the other ones, I’m interested to watch it, but it’s an odd one for a pay-per-view. Really interesting. And a couple of fights where, like, Rob Font finds himself in that situation again where he’s holding off another one of the young ones and kind of playing the gatekeeper role again. I don’t know, it’s an interesting card. I’ll be watching, of course, but I won’t be quite as pay-per-view excited as normal.”
