Max Holloway is gearing up for the first title defense of his reign as the BMF champion, which he won over a year ago. However, he may not be the one in focus ahead of his UFC 318 headliner, as Dustin Poirier is hanging up his gloves at the end of this weekend. But guess? The $4.2 trillion worth company, Nvidia, brought some good news to Holloway when they collaborated to combine two of his biggest passions, and yes, it does not include fighting.

Nvidia stands tall as the ultimate powerhouse in the world of PC gaming equipment. This brand has developed some of the most cutting-edge and impactful technology, clearly setting itself apart in the gaming industry. As Max Holloway gears up for his showdown this weekend, the team has put together a custom PC build, adding some extra flair for the BMF champion.

In a YouTube video posted by Nvidia, the host, Dwight, revealed that Max Holloway wasn’t looking for anything fancy, even though he could have literally asked for the best gaming tech in town. But to add a little extra touch, the people at Nvidia asked him to choose a theme for his equipment. A game at heart, and guess what? Holloway also shares a love for anime, and just like his son, he’s fond of the ‘My Hero Academia’ manga.

“With Max’s previous technical issues, his initial request for a new rig was just a reliable, no-frills PC,” the host stated on the YouTube video. “But when we showed examples of how we could theme it after anything… he immediately gravitated towards one of his and his son’s favorite anime, ‘My Hero Academia, particularly, their favorite character, [Katsuki] Bakugo.”

Well, the final product was bound to garner some epic reactions from Max Holloway, and it did. Not only was he blown away by the specs, but he even claimed that he’s not going to do gaming on any other device than on this new Nvidia setup. Holloway appeared so obsessed with his new gaming PC that he wanted to bring that to Louisiana. Here’s what he had to say.

As fight week rolls around, Max Holloway usually keeps a low profile and takes it easy, balancing his downtime with the media commitments that come with the territory. Things could have really turned around if he had that new gaming PC in his corner. It looks like the BMF champ opted to leave his device behind, citing subpar Wi-Fi at the locations where he and his crew will be staying. And you won’t believe this! ‘Blessed’ isn’t about to let a poor internet connection stand in the way of victory.

“I just like to keep a low profile. It’s all about laying back, chilling with the family, and chilling with the team,” Max Holloway stated on the UFC 318 Embedded Vlog on YouTube. “I wanted to bring my gaming PC, but I know the Wi-Fi is not the greatest when you go to Airbnbs. So, I know I’m a competitive guy and I don’t want to lose because of Wi-Fi issues.”

Max Holloway has a monumental challenge ahead of him, so there will be plenty of time for video games later. As Dustin Poirier gears up for what could be his last showdown, ‘Blessed’ finds himself in a precarious position, facing the threat of losing his BMF title, a belt that ‘The Diamond’ aims to take home and retire with.
