Well-known insider and journalist Ariel Helwani in an interview with MMAFightingonSBN stated that Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway can fight for the UFC interim featherweight title.
“Topuria will fight with Holloway if Volkanovski loses to Islam Makhachev. Alex will have to take a break from performing. And if the break drags on, then the fight could be for the title of interim featherweight champion,” Helwani said.
Let us remind you that Volkanovski agreed to a rematch with Islam Makhachev on short notice.
