UFC featherweight Max Holloway hasn’t fought inside the octagon since his loss to featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 276. A trilogy fight between Holloway and Volkanovski was in place, but ‘Blessed’ pulled out of the fight. However, fellow featherweight Giga Chikadze has issued a challenge to ‘Blessed’ Holloway and called him out on Twitter. Meanwhile, a fan reacted to Chikadze’s tweet and gave a funny response to the Georgian mixed martial artist. This isn’t the first time Chikadze has called out Max Holloway for a fight. After his win over Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Chikadze, ‘Ninja’ called out ‘Blessed’ in the post-fight interview. He said, “Been waiting (for) this moment, and Max …that’s why I’m here,” said Chikadze.

However, a fan on Twitter fired right back at Chikadze and gave a hilarious reply to the rising UFC star. The fan claimed that Chikadze was asking for his ‘murder’ after calling out Max Holloway. He wrote: “You are asking for your murder.”
