UFC American lightweight Grant Dawson doesn't believe that the promotion's former featherweight champion Max Holloway can defeat current belt holder Elijah Topuria.
"No, Max is not going to beat Elijah. We've seen it before - Max has an incredible performance and then fails in the title eliminator. That's what happened last time - when Max fought Calvin Kattar, I said that nobody could beat Holloway like that. And then Volkanovski took him apart easily. Now we've seen a super performance against Gaethje. Maybe against Kattar Max hit more often, but overall it was similar.
Topuria is the best welterweight on the planet right now. He's versatile, plus he has very powerful punches. I think Elijah will beat Max," MMA News quoted Dawson as saying.
