Max Holloway is currently receiving all the attention after his fight with Conor McGregorended disappointingly at UFC 329, after the Irishman injured his knee in the first round. Amidst that, his personal life recently came into the spotlight after the Hawaiian star's wife, Alessa Quizon, opened up about how they first met.
Last year, Holloway and Quizon appeared on the Brotherlee Time podcast, where they shared the story of their relationship. That clip now resurfaced and went viral on social media for all the wrong reasons, prompting Holloway to clarify that her comments had been taken out of context.
"Here's the context: 1. She was engaged while leaving me on read for 5 years," Holloway wrote on X."Lol. So if anything, I'm an ******* that kept reaching out. I lived by a code, though if you have a bf and he can't defend your honor, you have a girlfriend hahaha. 2. She was a professional surfer and actually really good at it. She has her own money. Get the full story before just watching clickbait and edited parts."
During a conversation a year ago, Holloway's wife revealed that Holloway had romantically pursued her for five years. After that, she revealed being interested in him after realizing Holloway was a "big deal" in the MMA world and seeing fans ask to take photos with him. However, Quizon finally clarified what really won her over.
""I respected Maxwell. I knew he was a great athlete from what I'd heard. Again, I never watched nothing," she said. "I didn't see that. I saw he was a really nice guy and again, very persistent. He wasn't creepy or anything. But I was like, 'Man, he doesn't (give up).'"
