Holloway called bare-knuckle fighting the dumbest thing in the world

Max Holloway, former UFC featherweight champion, sharply criticized bare-knuckle fighting and slap tournaments.

“I will never fight in bare-knuckle boxing. It’s the dumbest thing in the world. When I finish with MMA, I’ll be retired. Maybe I’ll consider a boxing match, but not with bare knuckles. It's just ridiculous.

People who participate in bare-knuckle boxing or Power Slap are just crazy. Those slaps are completely insane. Why would I stand and say, ‘Come on, hit me, and then I’ll hit you’? It's just absurd,” Holloway's words are quoted by Bloody Elbow.
