Max Holloway, known as "Blessed," has established himself as one of the most formidable fighters in the featherweight division. Coming off a spectacular knockout victory against Justin Gaethje, Holloway’s striking prowess and relentless pace are key factors in his fights.
Ilia Topuria, "El Matador," remains undefeated with an impressive track record. His last fight saw him defeat Alexander Volkanovski by knockout, showcasing his knockout power and versatility. Topuria's grappling and submission skills add another layer to his formidable arsenal.
I think Ilia Topuria will win by submission.
