Max Holloway, the UFC featherweight champion, recently stole the spotlight with a jaw-dropping knockout against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.
The fight showcased Holloway’s remarkable skills and left fans in awe. But it wasn’t just the fight that caught attention; it was the cage-side reaction of reigning champ Ilia Topuria that added intrigue.
Max Holloway goes off on Ilia Topuria and says he tweets like an angry girlfriend 😭
"This is the guy we're dealing with bro. So we had a bible verse-off on Twitter… and he writes like a freaking paragraph to me. I didn't even read it, that's how long it was.

As Holloway unleashed a relentless flurry of punches with just two seconds left, Topuria stood there, shocked and wide-eyed.
The knockout was one for the history books, and Holloway celebrated like a true BMF (Baddest Motherf****r). His performance was nothing short of legendary.
However, beyond the Octagon, the drama continues. Topuria, showing respect for Holloway, expressed his intent to face him in a championship fight by the end of the year.
Holloway, in his signature style, dismissed the demands. He ridiculed Topuria’s request for a “BMF” title fight, stating that it goes against the spirit of the title.
According to Holloway, a BMF fights whoever, whenever, at any weight, and that’s not the tone of a BMF.
While the MMA world buzzes with anticipation, Holloway remains unfazed. Whether it’s Topuria or any other opponent, he’s ready to step into the Octagon and prove why he’s truly blessed.
As for Topuria’s emotional tweets? Well, they might just be reminiscent of texts from an angry girlfriend—a comparison that adds a touch of humor to the intense rivalry.
Fans reacted as follows:

Volk got KOd 4 months prior. Should’ve took more time off.

The rematch is going to be fun. Longer time for Volk to heal up.

That’s not how it works mate. MMA math. If he fights like he did Josh Emmet Max will put him to sleep in 2.
Paella faced Volk who was coming off two defeats one brutal KO.— D (@dom7159) April 27, 2024
