Ivan Flores, coach of former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway, gave his assessment of current titleholder Elijah Topuria, who is expected to be his charge's next opponent.

"You know, he's a pretty strong boxer. His hand speed especially stands out. The guy is aggressive, confident, but the most dangerous quality is his hand speed.

I would say that in a way he fights like a big-sized heavyweight. This is because of his physique and height. But still, his speed should be noted despite being a bit large. The guy has everything to fight in the welterweight division," - quotes the words of the specialist MMA Junkie.

Recall that the last fight Topuria held on February 17 at UFC 298, knocking out Alex Volkanovski.
