Max Holloway Claps Back at Ilia Topuria's UFC Title Shot Threats

Ilia Topuria threatens to bypass Max Holloway for his first UFC featherweight title defense, insisting that he decides who, when, and where he fights. Topuria has suggested that he would only fight Holloway if the BMF belt is on the line, prompting Holloway to fire back. Topuria has hinted at offering the title shot to Brian Ortega instead, expressing his desire to hold both the BMF belt and a divisional title simultaneously. He also aims to fight in September at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with a potential matchup against Ortega.
