Max Holloway The featherweight title is on the line as current champion Topuria will defend his belt against the legendary Holloway. Topuria made a statement by knocking the former champion Alexander Volkanovski out cold in the second round in February. A victory over Holloway would be the icing on the cake.
It was Topuria’s fourth KO victory in the UFC in seven tries, and he still remains undefeated as a professional at 15-0. Holloway, on the other hand, is coming off a highlight-reel finish himself, where he stepped up to lightweight to face Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt and knocked him out cold with one second remaining in their 25-minute contest.
