Volkanovski: Holloway Deserves a Shot at the UFC Lightweight Title

Former UFC champion Alex Volkanovski from Australia believes that his ex-rival, American Max Holloway, might fight for the lightweight title (up to 70 kg) in his next match.

«Arman is obviously in the mix. I’m not sure about the current situation. Paddy Pimblett had a duel with Topuria, and there’s some animosity there… I don’t know if that fight is confirmed. But talking about Max, I believe his next bout will likely be for the title. I think that would be fair,» Volkanovski stated on his YouTube channel.

In his most recent fight at UFC 318 in July, Holloway secured a unanimous decision victory over his fellow countryman and three-time title challenger Dustin Poirier.
