Max Holloway

By FCF Staff

Max Holloway made the most of his co-headliner status today in Stockholm, Sweden, as the featherweight quickly put away Akira Corassani and picked up a “Performance of the Night” for his efforts.

Holloway dropped Corassani early on with punishing right hand, and then finished the deal with a series of follow up strikes. The 22 year-old earned an extra $50,000 for the award.

The other “POTN” went to Mike Wilkinson, who blasted Niklas Backstrom into unconsciousness, with a counter right hook in round one.

“Fight of the Night” went to featherweights Dennis Siver and Charles Rosa, for their entertaining back-and-forth scrap. Siver took the fight via unanimous decision.

UFC FN 53 was hosted by Stockholm’s Ericsson Arena.
