Max Holloway became a phenomenon when he defeated Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7. ‘Blessed’ now stands as the UFC featherweight rank #1 stamped with his name. Although the fighter has stayed at his peak, he was defeated by ‘The Great’ Alexander Volkanovski back during UFC 276. However, a couple of losses are simply not enough to put the mixed martial artist to rest. Furthermore, the elite featherweight fighter has received a couple of challenges. One among the challengers is none other than Giga Chikadze. Without a doubt, with the date for UFC 284 closing in, mixed martial arts fans have begun to put some pressure on and demand Holloway’s next opponent. Surprisingly, the featherweight warrior didn’t back down from teasing the fans. He took to Twitter and declared that he would soon return to the arena of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. 

Volkanovski was previously asked about his opinion on his former opponent. Without a doubt, the number one pound-for-pound warrior declared ‘The Blessed’ to be one of the greatest featherweight contenders out there in the UFC. However, he also issued a warning to his former opponent.

Max Holloway teases his return to the Octagon

Mac Mally on Twitter recently shared a strong post that put MMA fans on the edge of their seats. He wrote a scenario where UFC asked Dan Hooker if he wanted to fight another guy on a hot streak who can’t find a fight. 

He put Holloway in place of Hooker, who was quoting, “Yes! Why not? I wouldn’t be sitting here if I didn’t.” This seemed like a straight jab at Holloway, who couldn’t get a match for the upcoming UFC 284. But Holloway was not one to take offense from the jokes. 

A fan replied to the post and wished for fight news from Holloway. Without a doubt, he carried the thoughts of many other fans’ desires to see the former champion inside the Octagon. The fighter turned to reply to his fans and eased up some of the anxiety.
