Max Holloway on potential fourth fight against Alexander Volkanovski

Max Holloway is widely considered to be among the greatest featherweight contenders in UFC history. The striking savant possesses some of the cleanest boxing skills in the promotion and hasn't lost a fight to any featherweight opponent not named Alexander Volkanovski since his loss to Conor McGregor in 2013.

Despite Holloway's dominance in the 145-pound division, it seems 'The Great' has his number. The two world-class fighters shared the octagon on three occasions, with Volkanovski coming out on top every time. Given 'Blessed's resume, a possible fourth encounter against the featherweight king is a highly debated topic amongst fans.

At the UFC Singapore post-fight press conference, Max Holloway addressed the possibility of a quadrilogy fight against Alexander Volkanovski. He stated:

"Undeniable, man. All week, I’ve been saying undeniable. I’m not here to call nobody out... It’s the fans’ job to do for me. I’m just here to be undeniable, keep being undeniable. I’ll keep crawling, scratching my way to the top of the mountain... I'm only turning 32 in December... I want to win the title back. I want to defend it a bunch of times."
