UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria said he will be looking for a knockout victory in his upcoming fight against former titleholder Max Holloway.
"It turns me on to think that I can be the first to knock him out. I have an obligation to do it. When I watch his fights, I constantly think I'm better. I would beat him even in chess!
I respect Max, he's a great fighter. He's kind of a good guy, too. But I'm better than him at everything. I'm gonna knock him out in the first round. It'll be even easier than it was against Volkanovski. When I hear opinions that Max can knock me out, I realize that person doesn't know MMA at all. If Holloway decides to enter into a trade with me - let him pick his helmet beforehand, he's going to need it. If he points his finger in the center of the octagon and will insist on the exchange - I'm better," - quotes the words of Topuria MMA Junkie.
Recall that the fight Topuria - Holloway will take place on October 26 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
