It seems that the UFC has forced him [Holloway] to say yes. El Matador is back. Congratulations to all UFC fans.
Topuria's last fight was against Alexander Volkanovski in February of this year at UFC 298. In that bout, Ilia secured a victory with a knockout in the second round, claiming the featherweight championship belt. He has 15 wins and no losses on his record.
Holloway last stepped into the octagon against Justin Gaethje in April this year at UFC 300. This match, which was stopped at the very end of the fifth round, concluded with Max winning by knockout. His record stands at 26 wins and seven losses.
