UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has revealed he would like to inflict the first knockout loss of his career on former belt holder Max Holloway.

“It would be amazing to beat Max by knockout. He has a legendary chin. But it's obvious that he's taking damage, so he won't be able to hang on forever. So let's see if he survives this time.

I want to end it as soon as possible and I think I can do it. No disrespect to him, but I believe this should end soon. I will bring down a hail of blows on his chin, ”Volkanovski said at a press conference.

The third fight between Holloway and Volkanovski will take place on the night of July 3 at UFC 276 in Las Vegas. In the first two fights, the Australian took over: in December 2019, he won by unanimous decision, in July 2020 - by separate decision.
