Cory Sandhagen predicts Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway fight
Cory Sandhagen recently shared his prediction for the Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway featherweight title fight.
Topuria is set to make his first featherweight title defense against Holloway at UFC 308 later this year. In a recent interview with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri, Sandhagen predicted that 'El Matador' would beat the BMF champion:
''At 145, I think Ilia is one of the best guys, one of the best champs. I think that he is going to, unfortunately beat Max Holloway. Because I love Max Holloway but I think that's the way that I see the fight going.''
