UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria has once again stated that he will only give former division leader Max Holloway a fight if he puts the BMF belt on the line.
"Right now it doesn't make sense for Holloway to fight me. He realizes I'm going to beat him, knows it deep down. If you are BMF and you have a chance to fight for the title, what are you going to do? You've got to fight. Max is telling me to sign a contract, do this, do that. But where are you? Put the belt on the line.
I told him I wasn't going to fight him unless he put the BMF belt on the line, and he told me, "The real BMF doesn't win the title that way." You want me to put that belt on and you're not going to do it. So if you lose, you still hold the BMF title. How does that work? It doesn't make sense," Bloody Elbow quoted him as saying.
