Topuria called the UFC veteran a more dangerous opponent than Holloway

UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria believes Josh Emmett was a more dangerous opponent than Max Holloway.

"I assure you, the fight will end much sooner than everyone expects. I will be very aggressive in this fight. Holloway doesn't have a knockout punch, he's not dangerous. I think it was much more dangerous to fight Josh Emmett, who has really serious power. Fighting him for 25 minutes was a living hell. Yeah, he might not be as technical as Max, but he's a very strong fighter. He usually wears down his opponents and takes them with his stamina, but I'm ready to fight him for 10, even 20 rounds," MMAFighting quoted Topuria as saying.
