Max Holloway wants unification bout with Jose Aldo after capturing interim featherweight belt against Anthony Pettis at UFC 206 in Toronto

Max 'Blessed' Holloway took no more than three rounds to finish former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis in the main event of UFC 206 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto on Saturday night.

Immediately after having UFC gold wrapped around his waist for the first time, the Hawaiian, who extended his win streak to ten on the night, took aim at undisputed champion Jose Aldo, who was handed the championship after Conor McGregor 'relinquished' his title late last month.

'I told you guys earlier in the week that if I won I'd be looking for one man,' said Holloway.

'Jose Aldo, meet me in Brooklyn in February. Let's get the f****** real one!' he roared into the crowd with his title held aloft.

Pettis, who complained about a broken hand during the first round break of the fight, congratulated his opponent after being hit with a number of body kicks and a ferocious punching combination that ended his night in the third round.

'First punch I hit him with, I connected with the top his head and I broke my hand,' explained the former champion in his post-fight press interview.

'Max Holloway is a beast, though. I swear we should give this guy some credit. He came out here and he stood with me and now he's got the belt. Good fight man,' said Pettis.

The spectacular striker nearly turned the whole event on its head at the eleventh hour when he failed to hit the featherweight mark by three pounds. In light of that, Pettis claimed he would be moving back up to 155lbs.

'It's too much of a cut. I felt like I could do it at the time, but it's too much. I can't make the 145 weight cut, it's too hard,' said Pettis.

In the co-main event, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone recorded his fourth stoppage victory since moving up to welterweight with a stunning head kick knockout of Matt 'The Immortal' Brown.

Brown threatened the Jackson/Winkeljohn fighter in each round up to the point, having him locked in a triangle in the first round before dropping him temporarily in the second with a lunging right hand.

Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi put on one of the most memorable featherweight clashes in a long time, with Swanson underlining his relevance in the division with a dynamic display over the title-bound Korean.

After a tentative first round, the duo let it all hang out with both men appearing to be rocked on several occasion during the second round. Swanson scored an all-important knockdown just before the final bell, holding his hands up in victory from his opponent's guard when the final claxon was sounded.

Tim Kennedy's two-year absence from the Octagon was written all over his main card appearance in Toronto as the outsized Kelvin Gastelum picked him apart with ease before claiming a third round TKO victory. Kennedy did well to tie the TUF winner up in the first round but clearly couldn't keep up with his younger opponent's pace as the fight wore on.

He might have had to leave his signature Nordic axe and half of his beard in the locker room, but Emil Meek will be happy with a victory from his UFC debut as he grinded out veteran Jordan Mein over three rounds in the main card curtain raiser.

After being dominated from top position in the first round, Meek returned the favour in the closing round with Mein offering nothing to challenge the European's heavy top control.
