Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway is excited to see the UFC 333 main event.
Alexander Volkanovski is set to defend his featherweight title against Evloev in the main event. It’s a very intriguing fight, and oddsmakers have it as a pick’em, Holloway believes Volkanovski – who he fought three times – is getting overlooked and will be able to handle Evloev’s wrestling.
“With Volkanovski being Volkanovski, I think is a great matchup for him with Volk’s biggest concern being damage, taking damage,” Holloway said on his YouTube channel. “That’s his biggest concern lately. I like Evloev a lot. I know a lot of people keep talking about Movsar’s wrestling. It just blows my mind.
“I know he fought Islam twice, and I know everyone just thinks of the second one, like the first one never happened. Alexander Volkanovski was wrestling with one of the best 155-pound wrestlers in the world. I know Movsar is a beast. He’s 20-0, but again Alex Volkanovski is just a different animal. I really think people are sleeping on Alex Volkanovski.”
‘Great matchup for Volk’
Although Movsar Evloev is undefeated, Max Holloway believes Alexander Volkanovski will be able to deal with that.
Holloway expects Volkanovski to keep it standing and be the more active and better striker to win a decision in what he thinks will be a fan-friendly fight.
“I think this is a great matchup for Volk. I think he goes out there and lands a lot for 25 minutes. He gets his hand raised in a decision. I’m going Volk here with a decision. I think the world is going to see. I think you guys have to put a little bit more respect on Volkanovski’s name. It’s going to be a great one,” Holloway added.
If Volkanovski gets his hand raised at UFC 333, he will improve to 29-4 and will break the record for the most UFC Featherweight title wins with nine.
