Max Holloway has now landed 3,000 significant trikes in his career, ending Arnold Allen’s 10-fight win streak at UFC Kansas. While Holloway is now on the brink of fighting for the title again, he can come across Alexander Volkanovski for the fourth time.
Volkanovski has beaten Holloway in all three of their previous outings. It remains to be seen whether ‘Blessed’ can turn the tables if offered another crack at ‘The Greatest’ Volkanovski.
