Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway during his career, he missed more than a thousand significant blows, but only one fighter managed to seriously shock him. According to the American, his compatriot Andre Fili was able to do this in 2014, even though then Max ended the fight ahead of schedule in his favor.
“Duel with Andre Fili. Many people think that Poirier managed to shock me, but this is not so. With Dustin, everything was not so scary. I understood that I had missed a blow and what I should do to avoid unpleasant consequences.
With Fili, everything was different. I realized that I missed it, but what kind of blow it was and where it came from, I did not understand. I looked at the time and thought: “What the hell am I doing here?”. I looked at the time, but did not understand why I was doing this, because I had to look at my opponent. It was probably the only time,” Holloway said on the Flagrant podcast.
Recall that on August 26, in the main event of the UFC on ESPN+ 83 tournament in Kallang, Singapore, Holloway will meet with South Korean Chen Sung Jong.
