Okay, so I was watching some UFC fights the other day, and I noticed something about Max Holloway. Every time he walks out, he’s got this flag draped over his shoulders, right? But it’s not the American flag, it’s the Hawaiian flag. And I was like, “Huh, that’s interesting.”
So, I got curious and decided to dig a little deeper. I started by searching online, just typing in “Max Holloway flag” into the search bar. The first few results cleared it up pretty quick – the guy proudly carries the flag of Hawaii, his home state. It’s a pretty cool way to represent where he’s from, you know?
Then I found out that he is maybe the only one fighter who does not use a national flag, just only wears his home state flag. So that was cool. I guess it makes sense since Hawaii has its own unique culture and history. And the flag itself is pretty neat, with the Union Jack in the corner and those eight stripes representing the major islands. It is a big deal in Hawaii for sure.
I kept looking around, and I stumbled upon some stuff about him talking about the flag on the Joe Rogan podcast. Apparently, there was some kind of issue with a sponsor about it, and he had to fight to be able to keep carrying it. That’s some real dedication right there, sticking to your guns and representing your heritage.
So yeah, that’s the story of Max Holloway and his Hawaiian flag. It’s a small thing, maybe, but it tells you a lot about the guy’s pride in his roots and his determination to represent Hawaii on the big stage. Plus, it got me learning a little bit more about Hawaii and its history, which is always a good thing. Thought I’d share my little investigation with y’all, hope you found it as interesting as I did!
