Is it just me, or does it seem like the upcoming contest for the featherweight crown between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway isn’t getting the attention you would expect it to? With the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s annual Madison Square Garden card looming just beyond it and the controversy with the heavyweight triangle that is Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic and Tom Aspinall, Topuria and Holloway appear to be getting lost in the shuffle.
Maybe it would help if there was some trash talk going between the two, but Topuria hasn’t exhibited the same vitriol towards Holloway that he has some of his past opponents.
