Off the back of his stunning knockout win at UFC 300, former featherweight champion, Max Holloway was touted as having his pick of the bunch of title fights in multiple divisions. And according to prior foe, Brian Ortega, the Hawaiian is already set up to challenge the unbeaten, Ilia Topuria next in a return to 145lbs.
Holloway, a former undisputed featherweight champion and current symbolic BMF championship holder, featured on the main card of UFC 300 earlier this month, felling Justin Gaethje with a spectacular buzzer-beating walk-off knockout in Las Vegas.
And as for Topuria, the Spaniard headlined UFC 298 back in February in Anaheim, landing the featherweight crown against common-opponent, Alexander Volkanovski – finishing the New South Wales technician with a brutal knockout win of his own.
