Following this, Max doubled down on these claims in a recent interview with MMAJunkie. The featherweight fighter went on to express his resentment toward fans who limit the fighter to his weight class.
Max Holloway said, “I saw a couple people be like ‘Yeah, wait until Francis Ngannou calls him out’. You guys think I care?” The former champion stood his ground on a potential victory against Francis Ngannou despite the drastic weight difference.
“The last time I checked, Francis Ngannou freaking bleeds blood just like me brother. His blood is red,” claimed Blessed. The confidence of stepping into the octagon against a fighter who is levels above in terms of weight class is a maneuver that Holloway seemed to have perfected.

“I think I would put my money on Max,” said The Diamond. The American fighter officially predicted the Hawaiian former champion to emerge victorious in the fight.
“Him [Max Holloway] and Gaethje probably walk around the same weight,” claimed Poirier. This remark was at the back of fans supposedly under sizing Blessed concerning his opponent.
“The striking, timing of Max, his range, his durability, it’s a coin toss but if I was betting I’d bet Max,” revealed Dustin Poirier. The Diamond believes Holloway to be the superior striker among the two and predicts a victory for Blessed.
Dustin Poirier unfortunately suffered a loss in his bout against Justin Gaethje at UFC 291. Although the American fighter showed respect for both contenders, Holloway appears to be Diamond’s winner of UFC 300.
