Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway are playing the blame game as their heavily rumored featherweight title class continues to lose traction.
‘El Matador’ scored a stellar second-round knockout against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 to take home the 145-pound crown. Five months later, we’re still no closer to his first title defense after talks seemingly stalled out between Topuria and the man everyone expects to be his first challenger, Max Holloway.
During a recent Q&A session with Marca, Topuria was asked about the status of his scrap with ‘Blessed,’ to which the champ responded by placing all the blame on the BMF titleholder.
