Holloway responded to all the critics

Max Holloway, former UFC featherweight champion, has responded to all those who think he's on the decline right now.

"The problem is these guys have seen me grow up. Coming into the UFC, I was 20 years old, and a lot of people think I'm about 42 years old like Daniel Cormier. But I'm actually a young guy. Especially after the trilogy with Wolf. The first two fights went okay, and the third fight made everybody say, "Oh, he's done." Brother, that was Wolf's night. He was on a roll. It is what it is, and now they're doing MMA math because Elijah was able to knock out Wolf. Even Elijah is doing MMA math, "I beat the guy that beat you." Bro, that's not how it works. I lost to Dustin Puryear and Justin Gaethje sent him to knockout. Can I say now that I beat Dustin? No. Styles make fights," Middle Easy quoted Holloway as saying.
