Emmett challenged Holloway

Josh Emmett After defeating Bryce Mitchell, he decided to challenge the former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway.

“In my opinion, the surest way to get a title shot is to fight Max Holloway. He's the number one contender and this is the right fight at the right time. This is what I want. He was a phenomenal champion both inside and outside the Octagon. He's a big name and he's cleared out the entire division. He fought with everyone except me. Let's do that!".
