Javier Mendez, the head coach of Islam Makhachev has warned Max Holloway over a potential fight between the two.
Holloway is coming off a thrilling fifth-round knockout win over Justin Gaethje to win the BMF title. After the win, Holloway called out Ilia Topuria for the featherweight title, as he would return to his weight class. But, many fans wanted to see him stay at lightweight and fight Makhachev for the lightweight title.
If Holloway does stay at 155lbs and face Makhachev, Mendez believes it will be a long night for the Hawaiian.
