UFC 245: Alex Volkanovski warns Max Holloway ‘I’m on another level’
- ‘If he wants to pour it on, he’s going to walk into a brick wall,’ says Volkanovski
- ‘Max has habits we’re going to capitalise on that he doesn’t even know he has’
UFC featherweight title contender Alex Volkanovski has been listening to the plaudits roll in for upcoming opponent Max Holloway for what seems an eternity.
The Hawaiian prodigy has captured the imagination of fight fans with his suffocating brand of striking which has seen him tear off a staggering 13-fight win streak.
But Dustin Poirier proved the “Blessed” one was fallible when he almost beat him at his own game, dashing his hopes of adding the interim lightweight strap to his mantelpiece.
Now Volkanovski wants to prove he’s worthy of the same recognition. Overflowing with confidence, the Australian is adamant he has the blueprint to dethrone the featherweight champion in their co-main event showdown at UFC 245 in Las Vegas this weekend.
“Everyone knows he’s one of the best fighters in the world, but I’m going to show everyone why I’m a better fighter,” Volkanovski told the Post.
