Max Holloway, known for his iron chin and relentless pace, recently shared some behind-the-scenes glimpses of his preparation. The former featherweight champ is gearing up for a high-stakes clash with Ilia Topuria at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.
He shared the clip on his YouTube channel. The video shows him working the mitts using his boxing skills. He then also moves on to work on the heavy bag. ‘Blessed,’ however, seemed considerably slow in this video. Whether it was intentional or a slow-paced training regimen is not known.
But Max Holloway didn’t become one of the greatest featherweights by accident. The man has been through wars and always comes back stronger. His epic performance at UFC 300 with that last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje was pure magic.
Now he is facing a new challenge in Ilia Topuria. The undefeated Spaniard shocked the world by dethroning Alexander Volkanovski. He’s young, hungry, and packs a serious punch. But Max Holloway isn’t fazed, though. He is confident in his ability to reclaim the belt that he once lost.
