Dana White: No way Holloway fights anytime soon
UFC president Dana White thinks Max Holloway's medical issues, which forced the featherweight champion out of his title defense against Brian Ortega at UFC 226 on Saturday, could keep him out of the Octagon for a while.
"There's no way this guy is going to fight anytime soon," White said Thursday, according to ESPN's Ariel Helwani.

Holloway had been experiencing concussion-like symptoms this week, even before beginning his weight cut, and he was hospitalized for a second time Wednesday night.
White added that Holloway would be going to the Mayo Clinic for further testing, according to MMA Fighting.
Ortega was removed from the card without an opponent for his co-main event fight.
Holloway hasn't fought since beating Jose Aldo via third-round TKO at UFC 218 in December 2017.
