Topuria to Holloway: "Don't like my terms - Ortega is ready to replace you"

UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria once again spoke out about a potential bout with former titleholder Max Holloway.

"You have one thing that will get you a money fight, and that's the BMF belt. I'm not fighting for money anymore, I'm building a legacy. I'll be the first to take that belt by being champion.

I was the first to knock out Volkanovski and I'll almost certainly be the first to send you to bed. And there's no shame in that - you'll have a loss to a champion who will be remembered forever. I'll decide who my opponent will be, when we fight and where. If you don't like my terms - Ortega is probably ready to replace you," Topuria wrote on social network X.
