Max Holloway hopes to channel his inner Israel Adesanya in a fourth match against Alexander Volkanovski
Max Holloway is one of the most accomplished fighters in the UFC. For all his laurels, there is one challenge 'Blessed' has failed to conquer yet, the reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
'The Great' has got the better of Holloway in all of their past three fights. However, it seems Holloway hasn't yet given up on regaining his title.
During the media day for UFC on ESPN 44, the former featherweight kingpin referred to Israel Adesanya's incredible patience and resilience en route to finally winning over arch-rival Alex Pereira in their fourth meeting as "inspiring."
"People keep giving me a hard time [asking] are we going to do a fourth [fight with Alexander Volkanovksi]?... I mean, watching Izzy [Israel Adesanya] last week was pretty inspiring, you know. This is MMA... at the end of the day, anything can happen."Catch Max Holloway's comments below (0:45):
