Emmett announced the name of his desired opponent after defeating Mitchell

With a knockout victory over Bryce Mitchell, the former challenger for the interim featherweight belt Josh Emmett made it clear that he was determined to regain lost ground in the division. According to the American veteran, the best way to do this is to defeat the former division leader Max Holloway.

“Max Holloway is the top contender. But he has already cleared out almost the entire division and fought with everyone in our weight class, except me. It would be an honor for me to fight him,” MMA Mania quotes Emmett.

Let us remember that Holloway last appeared in the Octagon in August, when Chen Sung Jong finished.
