Holloway - Volkanovski: "Take the lightweight belt"

Max Holloway

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway congratulated the current belt holder Alexandra Volkanovski with a confident victory at UFC 276.

On July 3 at UFC 276 in Las Vegas, Holloway lost to Volkanovski via unanimous decision. This is the third victory of the Australian over the American: in December 2019 he also won by unanimous decision, and in July 2020 by separate decision.

“In the trilogy, I still lead 2-0 knockdowns. We will probably need a fourth fight to decide everything. Okay, I'm kidding.

Congratulations to my brother Alex Volkanovski. Go ahead and grab the lightweight belt. You deserved it. You are the best P4P fighter right now,” Holloway tweeted.

Recall that Volkanovski has repeatedly announced plans to move up to lightweight for the title fight.
