Max Holloway was a champion before Alexander Volkanovski took on the mantle of the featherweight throne from him. He is well aware of how things work at the absolute top in the UFC. Alexander Volkanovski seems like in a bad spot as he incurred a two fight losing streak in the title fights of the lightweight and the featherweight division.
Holloway opened on the current scene at the top in his featherweight division. He made a massive remark which might impress former champion Alexander Volkanovski.
Max Holloway claims Alexander Volkanovski deserves an immediate rematch
Former featherweight champion was spotted giving an interview about his very own career and the featherweight division. He had some inspiring words for Alexander Volkanovski as the latter lost his featherweight title recently to Spanish superstar Ilia Topuria. Max Holloway said,
I thought if Topuria was to beat Volk in any way, Volk gets a direct rematch. …You wait in this sport, the sport goes by you and goes by you quick.
Max made it quite clear that Alexander Volkanovski deserves an immediate rematch given the amount of times he has defended his belt. Volkanovski’s title reign was pretty impressive as he cleared out the featherweight division and beat out stars like Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez.
Ilia Topuria knocked out Volk in the second round of their fight via a spectacular knockout. He impressed the MMA fans and became the very first champion hailing from the country of Spain. Featherweight has got some exciting matchups for Topuria’s first title defense but it’ll be interesting to see if he wins against Volkanovski once more.
