Featherweight champion Max Holloway has the task of defending his belt this weekend. He’ll face number one contender Alexander Volkanovski in Las Vegas on a stacked UFC 245 fight card.
However, part of the 145lb champ is still chasing a fight with lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov. The pair where meant to meet at UFC 223 but Holloway was declared medically unfit to fight, after attempting a last-minute weight cut.
Khabib has gone on to beat Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor – who have both beat Holloway in the past. Holloway says that doesn’t matter and won’t make a difference when they actually fight. Speaking to Kevin Iole he said (H/T Yahoo Sports)
“We
don’t know, none of them is me, I’m not them. Khabib is Khabib. I wish it
happened. Khabib is on his way to being one of greatest to ever do it. I plan
on being one of the greatest to ever do it. I’m sure we’re gonna meet.
“As long as my goal and his goal is the same, we’re
gonna run into each other some time, and that’s being the greatest fighter of
all time.”
“We’ll see what happens,” Holloway said. “That fight excites me. There’s fights that raises lots of questions for someone, and he raises lots of questions. Hopefully we get to fight and find out the answers.” (Transcribed by South China Morning Post)
Holloway looks almost untouchable at 145lbs. The champion seems too big and is safe to stand in the pocket and trade bombs with his opponents. However, in his lone foray into the lightweight division he looked on the small side.
Dustin Poirier appeared too big, too strong and too powerful for much of their 155lb fight. Holloway eventually grew into the bout and made it close. However he’d have to grow into the division or risk a mauling if he ever meet’s Khabib.
Will Max Holloway ever face off against Khabib Nurmagomedov?

Carlos Diego Ferreira wants to make a statement against former champion Anthony Pettis on January 18.
Rising lightweight Carlos Diego Ferreira wants to make the most of the opportunity he was given for his next fight, to take on the division’s former undisputed champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 246.
In order to make his desire come true, the Brazilian tells Combate he does not simply want to just win, but to dominate Pettis in every single aspect of the fight and have the single best performance of his professional MMA career up until now.
“I’m starting my camp now, but I hadn’t stopped training. Everything is going well, I’m focusing on my defense now, I’m paying attention to his kicks, but I’m also getting ready both for a striking match and a wrestling one. I’m doing really well and focused on nullifying his game.”
With his last loss being almost five years ago now, a KO defeat to Dustin Poirier, Carlos Diego Ferreira (16-2) now finds himself on a five-fight winning streak in the UFC. In his opinion, the 34-year-old believes the experience, even in defeat, was crucial to make him grow and evolve as a mixed martial artist.
“My losses to Beneil Dariush and Dustin Poirier taught me to trust my work more. In my first fights, I was always thinking about getting the job done quickly, but now I have a different mindset. I do what I like, so I have to make the most out of it. I love being in the Octagon, if I could, I would be there for more than 15 minutes. I know Pettis is a counter striker and has sharp jiu-jitsu. I have been paying attention and been training a lot in order to completely nullify those positive aspects and score another victory.”
During his current streak, Ferreira picked up wins over Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Jared Gordon, Kyle Nelson, Rustam Khabilov and most recently, back in September, Mairbek Taisumov. Now, the 34-year-old is scheduled to take on Anthony Pettis at UFC 246, on January 18, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The card is expected to be headlined by a welterweight bout between former UFC double champion Conor McGregor and perennial contender Donald Cerrone.
