Okay, so I was trying to figure out this whole Max Holloway flag thing. You know, the Hawaiian flag he always carries into the octagon? It’s upside down, and I was curious about what that means.
First off, I started digging around online, trying to find some answers. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. There’s a lot of information out there, but not a lot that directly explained why Max does this. I found some history about the Hawaiian flag and the overthrow of the monarchy, which was interesting, but still didn’t fully answer my question.
Then I decided to go to some forums and social media groups dedicated to MMA and Hawaiian culture. I asked around, hoping someone could shed some light on this. People started chiming in with different theories and interpretations. Some said it’s a symbol of distress, others said it’s a way to show solidarity with the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
What I found out
- The upside-down flag is indeed a symbol of distress, according to some sources.
- It can also represent protest or opposition to the current state of affairs.
- Some people believe Max is making a political statement by carrying the flag this way.
I also stumbled upon some articles about Max himself, where he talks about his heritage and what the flag means to him. He’s pretty vocal about his pride in being Hawaiian and wanting to represent his people. It seems like carrying the flag upside down is his way of acknowledging the struggles his people have faced and continue to face.
So, after all this digging, I think I’ve got a better understanding of the whole Max Holloway flag situation. It’s not just a simple gesture; it’s loaded with meaning and history. It’s about identity, protest, and honoring the past. It’s pretty cool that a simple act like carrying a flag can say so much. It’s definitely made me appreciate Max and his connection to his roots even more.
