Max Holloway is once again looking to give fans their money’s full worth. The UFC ‘BMF’ champion has always been quite exciting to watch inside the octagon. After all, who can forget his UFC 300 antics against Justin Gaethje. And not only that. Going up against a super striker like Ilia Topuria, Holloway did not hesitate to box. Even if that meant him getting knocked out in the fight. Coming to the UFC 318 fight, Holloway is planning something similar.
Speaking about his upcoming bout, Holloway stated that he is looking to have some fun. With both Poirier and himself known to be vicious strikers, the ‘BMF’ champion had another message. He stated that if anybody would want to get interested in the UFC, then this was the bout they must not miss.
“If you’re trying to get someone into watching the UFC, tell them to tune in July 19th because me and Dustin are gonna have a fun fight,” said Holloway.

“UFC owe me a championship fight. I’m 3-1 in my last 4. They came to my house begging me to fight Max Holloway on UFC 300. I consider that an exhibition fight. It had nothing to do with rankings,” Gaethje also said, “Oliveira (2-2 in his last fights) has already lost to Makhachev. And they bring a brand-new guy in, and I get f*cked again,” Gaethje said.
