Max Holloway Vows to Silence Doubters in UFC 308 Featherweight Title Clash Against Ilia Topuria: ‘A Lot of People Laughed’
"I’ve been going hard over the last few years trying to regain my throne," Holloway shared. "A lot of people laughed, but we’ll see who gets the last laugh come October 26."
Topuria, the undefeated featherweight champion, has been vocal about his plans to finish Holloway early. But Holloway remains unfazed, knowing the stakes and embracing the challenge ahead.
"The break in between camps is super important," Holloway explained, emphasizing the need for recovery after his intense fight with Gaethje. "Even after the fight, my face might’ve looked clean, but I still got hit, my leg was a little beat up."
As camp ramps up, Holloway is focused and ready to prove that he’s still one of the best. "Never, ever give up," Holloway said, summing up his mindset. With UFC 308 on the horizon, Holloway is eager to show the world he’s far from finished.
On the Believe Me You Podcast with Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith, Sean O’Malley shared his thoughts on UFC 308 and Max Holloway's upcoming fight against Ilia Topuria. Praising Holloway as one of the toughest fighters in the featherweight division, O’Malley confidently predicted, "I think Max gets the job done."
He acknowledged Holloway’s recent victory over Justin Gaethje and the speculation around the BMF belt being on the line. However, O’Malley pointed out that Topuria is focused on defending his featherweight title, saying, "I saw Ilia say the BMF title wasn’t on the line."
O’Malley also talked about his future aspirations, expressing a desire to challenge Holloway after UFC 308. "Max goes out there, wins forty-five, BMF champ. I move up, I beat Max, I’m the BMF," he said, highlighting his respect for Holloway as a formidable opponent in both the bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
