If Max Holloway wants to get his hands back on the UFC featherweight title, it’s unlikely to happen as long as Alexander Volkanovski is on top of the division.
UFC president Dana White isn’t a fan of setting up a historic fourth fight between the two elite featherweights who have already shared the cage three times in title fights.
Since 2013, Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) is 18-0 in featherweight bouts against opponents not named Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC). After his third loss to the current champion last July, Holloway has since handed Arnold Allen his first loss in the promotion, and retired “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung by third-round knockout at UFC Fight Night 225 in Singapore.
