Max Holloway makes weight for his fight at the UFC 231 pay-per-view event after UFC officials had the official weigh-ins on Friday.

The UFC featherweight champion is slated to make his next title defense against Brian Ortega in the headliner of this show. Holloway took the scale and weighed in at 144.5 pounds, which is a great sign considering the issues that he had in his latest attempt. You can read the full weigh-in results here.

Ortega and Holloway were supposed to fight at the UFC 226 pay-per-view event. That show went down in July at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. But Holloway was forced to pull out of the fight after he had been experiencing concussion-like symptoms.
