Volkanovski predicts the title duel Topuria vs. Holloway. He expects a clear dominance of the former champion

Volkanovski does not believe that the champion Topuria is as good a fighter as he thinks he is, which he is very happy to prove to him in return. Even before that, however, the seasoned Hawaiian hitman Max Holloway will have a go at him.

Alex Volkanovski has two tough KO losses, so for the next few months he will only be watching combat sports from the comfort of his home fireplace. However, it was from here that he allowed himself to send one prediction, which will concern the upcoming title duel.

Dana White has already essentially made up his mind. He would very much like to send former champion Max Holloway into the fight for the featherweight championship belt, who earned his chance with an absolutely phenomenal performance at UFC 300 in April. Here, Max, as a paper outsider, faced the most explosive fighter in the lightweight division, Justin Gaethje, whom he knocked out by KO in the fifth round. He’s made it clear to everyone that people shouldn’t write him off, and the same goes for featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, who pokes fun at Holloway about his limited abilities as a fighter.

“Topuria seems to me like a person from some panopticon, whom you can’t even trust between the eyes and the nose. Just because he beat me when I lost my rhythm, he thinks he’s the best. And somehow I still don’t give it to him, because it doesn’t look the best to me,” Volkanovski told MainEventTV.

“If the match Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway, so I’m definitely betting on Max. He will win just because Ilia underestimates him so much. He thinks a power punch will be enough to finish him off, but Max just fought the toughest lightweight on the planet and even she couldn’t beat him.” he pointed out.

“I believe that in terms of technique and movement, Holloway is significantly better, which is also the reason why Topuria can have a good day. And I believe that if my mind was 100% in this game, then I would have played Topuria too. Next time it’s my turn, I’ll confirm it!” stated Volkanovski, who is clearly still itching for revenge himself. However, at the expense of his health, he was advised not to rush after her after such hard knockouts.
