Then stay tuned as we are back with another episode of MMA Roundup, where we bring you the latest hubbubs of the MMA world in bite-sized pieces.

Moving on from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump, we will tune in to discuss Dustin Poirier’s straight warning for Ilia Topuria in his match against Max Holloway. Lastly, we will conclude our Roundup with a piece of information about Ilia Topuria’s thoughts about the Alexander Volkanovski rematch. So, without any further ado, let us get started.

After Donald Trump, Kamala Harris might come to ‘Joe Rogan Experience’

After͏ mon͏ths͏ ͏of ͏ba͏c͏k-a͏nd-for͏th,͏ Dona͏ld Trump fina͏lly made͏ a͏n ap͏pea͏rance on ͏the “͏J͏oe Rog͏an Exp͏erience.͏”͏ The multi͏-mil͏li͏on͏-dolla͏r ͏͏podcaster͏ anno͏unc͏e͏d on͏ Friday ͏͏that ͏the͏y had ͏f͏ini͏s͏hed f͏ilming͏͏ the epi͏͏sode, a͏nd in the ͏ea͏͏rl͏y͏ h͏ours͏ of Satur͏d͏ay͏,͏͏ his team uploaded͏ ͏the v͏͏ideo͏.͏ ͏As͏ ͏soon as i͏t was͏ uploa͏de͏d, i͏t͏͏ quic͏kly garn͏ered m͏illions͏ of views. Their chat has garnered nearly eight million views in 8 hours and it is trending all over America.

Regardless, at the podcast, Donald Trump asked Joe Rogan about the probability of Kamala Harris coming down from the White House for the show, to which the podcaster emphasized that he could see that happening, “I could imagine her doing this show. She was supposed to do it, she might still do it and I hope she does. I would talk to her like a human being. I would try to have a conversation with her… I think we’d have a fine conversation,” said Rogan.

Witnessing Rogan’s thoughts, Donald Trump took a cheeky jibe at his opponent, “I hope she does because it would be a mess. She would be lying on the floor comatose. She’d be saying, ‘Call in the medics.'” The elections are set to take place on November 5th, and the probability of Kamala Harris appearing on Joe Rogan’s show seems slim. Well, now that we know about the political scenario of the US, let us move forward to Dustin Poirier’s warning to Ilia Topuria. 

Dustin Poirier issues warning signals to Ilia Topuria against Max Holloway

Ilia Topuria is all set to defend his featherweight title against Max Holloway and the day of the reckoning has finally come. ‘El Matador’ has promised to knock out Max Holloway in the very first round – “I’m taking him out in the first round.” This confession by the featherweight champion has caught the attention of Dustin Poirier, who has also fought and defeated Max Holloway twice across two weight classes.

The former interim lightweight champion emphasized that it would be gravely difficult for Ilia Topuria to knock out Max Holloway considering the fact that the ‘BMF’ belt holder is more hungry now. “Anything could happen in this game but to go out there and one punch Max [Holloway], is going to be almost impossible, I think. It can happen, for sure. But I don’t think it will… This is a big test. If he goes in there and beats Max or lasts with Max in the volume game and outpoints him, outfights him technically on the feet – that’s going to say so much about Ilia and where he’s going to go,” said Poirier in a conversation with Mike Bohn.

He further added, “I can’t pick against Max. I could see Topuria winning, but just Max, the experience and the championship fights he’s been in.” Many fighters are choosing Max Holloway over Ilia Topuria specifically because of his experience, but we should not forget that people also chose José Aldo against Conor McGregor. While the Holloway fight is inching closer with each minute, Topuria had to tackle questions about another future fight, too.

Ilia Topuria shares his honest opinion on Alexander Volkanovski rematch

UFC 298 witnessed the clash between Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkanovski. Topuria kept his promise and knocked out the Aussie fighter in the second round to make sure that he clinched the victory as well as the belt for himself. Months have passed since the incident and Topuria is all set to defend his title against Max Holloway but Topuria believes that Volkanovski still deserves a rematch with him.

While having a conversation with Fox Sports Australia, Ilia Topuria emphasized that he would readily give Alexander Volkanvoski a chance after dealing with Max Holloway, “Without a Doubt, he deserves a rematch. If it has to happen in Australia, we will go there.” In addition to that, at the pre-fight press conference, Ilia Topuria changed tunes as he stated that ‘The Great’ would have to fight him in Madrid.

He further added, “If that makes him feel happy thinking that, maybe, I will go to Australia, that’s okay, but in myself, that’s never going to happen. I am the champion and if you want to fight for the title again, it has to be in Madrid instead of fighting in Australia in front of your people. Why would I want to give you that advantage.”  

The conclusion of Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway’s fight would define the fate of the featherweight division. Regardless, what’s your take on the clash? State your thoughts in the comments below.
