“There’s a reason why they didn’t give me Elijah – they wanted him to make it to this fight,” Holloway said at a press conference in Anaheim. “The issue is Wolf. He hears the chatter about his last fight, that he was knocked out, that he’s gotten older, and that motivates him – you’ll see it all for yourself tomorrow. I think he’ll finish Elijah before the five rounds are up.”
As a reminder, a featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Elijah Topuria will headline UFC 298 in Anaheim, while Max Holloway made a foray into the lightweight division on April 13 and will attempt to take the BMF title from Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
