Soon after the comments from Topuria went viral, Max Holloway came up with a reply. Mocking Topuria for making up the story, Holloway stated, “Guy is just making things up at this stage, I been ready.” Well, Topuria has a lot of things to say about Holloway.
The UFC featherweight champ first stated that Holloway initially had family problems. Next, he was unable to make the desired weight before showing disinterest in fighting at all. While these allegations have been debunked by Holloway, Topuria still hopes to get his bout.
Ilia Topuria wants to fight soon
Max Holloway or not, Ilia Topuria wants to fight soon. He stated that his initial aim was to fight in Abu Dhabi. However, if that was not met, he was ready to show up in Las Vegas as well. He stated that anyone who is willing to challenge him must step up and confirm him with a date to fight.
Well, realistically speaking, the bout with Max Holloway looks to be pretty much on. However, it was initially decided that Alexander Volkanovski would get his rematch straight away. Unfortunately, Volkanovski was advised to take time off to cope with his back-to-back KOs, which paved the way for Holloway. And now, with that fight looking uncertain too, it will be interesting to see who Ilia Topuria ultimately faces to defend his title.
