Former featherweight champion Max Holloway is gearing up for a return to the octagon on April 15. He will be going head-to-head against the undefeated Arnold Allen at UFC on ESPN 44. However, ‘Blessed’ still looks like he wants to get his hands on Alexander Volkanovski for the fourth time.

Max Holloway has received mixed outcomes in his last few fights. He’s lost three of his last five fights and looks to be in a tough predicament. Holloway’s last fight saw him lose to featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski to end the storied trilogy. He is looking to bounce back stronger this time around.

Max Holloway wants to fight Alexander Volkanovski again

Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway had one of the best UFC rivalries. But ‘Blessed’ came up short on all three occasions. The third fight proved to be a worst outing than the previous two as Volkanovski landed 199 strikes to claim the victory by a unanimous decision. But Max Holloway clearly stated that he wants another fight against the featherweight champion.

‘Blessed’ appeared on a recent edition of ESPN’s ‘DC & RC show’ as he talked about his upcoming fight against Arnold Allen. But when they mentioned the possibility of another fight against former rival Alexander Volkanovski, Hollway seemed interested. He said, “We see what happens, you know. At the end of the day, I really want that fourth [fight with Volkanovski]. It is what it is.”

Max Holloway believes that anything can happen in the world of combat sports. He cited how nobody believed that MMA icon Conor McGregor would ever fight Floyd Mayweather. But that fight went on to become one of the biggest spectacles in the history of combat sports. Holloway said, “Who thought Conor McGregor would ever fight Floyd Mayweather? You know what I mean? The list goes on about wild fights, weird fights that may happen, you know.”

‘Blessed’ also talked about how the UFC president Dana White does things in the UFC. He said, “One day Dana White might be saying, ‘There is no way we’re making this fight’. Then after this fight, he goes on to say, ‘This is the next fight’. We see what happens.” Holloway is hoping for the best and believes that his fight against Alexander Volkanovski could become a reality.
