Chael Sonnen, a former UFC fighter and current analyst, believes that the organization's former featherweight champion Max Holloway could become the next contender for a title fight.
“What an interesting fight it would be between Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria. Max crushes his opponents on the stand, and Topuria is the best boxer in the UFC. This is the perfect fight that fans want to see. Max never gave up, remained motivated, and can now become a contender for the title. If you ask me who the big winner is at UFC 298, I’ll tell you it’s Max Holloway,” Sonnen said.
Let us remind you that the new UFC featherweight champion is Ilia Topuria, who in the main fight of UFC 298 knocked out Volkanovski and took the championship from him.
