“The other one isn’t talking, huh. He’s already scared, brother”Ramos noted in his conversation with the featherweight champion. “I’m the best in the world and he knows it, he knows it’s going to be super hard,” Topuria explained, while the footballer insisted that Holloway had not said anything. “He knows what he’s going to respond,” said the Hispanic-Georgian. “Tomorrow victory is the only option, there is no other option”he concluded.
Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway will meet this Saturday night in the octagon in what will be the first title defense for the Spanish-Georgian fighter, who has a undefeated record of 15-0.
