Max Holloway Thinks Ilia Topuria is Stealing Conor McGregor’s Aura
Throughout a media scrum, Max Holloway mentioned Ilia Topuria attempting to label himself a BMF. He mentioned “El Matador” hasn’t earned that distinction and would relatively be a Conor McGregor ripoff (through MMAJunkie).
“It simply is senseless,” Holloway mentioned. “To me, I don’t suppose he deserves – you’ve obtained to earn that proper. I don’t suppose he deserves that proper. I imply, you guys know the man he’s copycatting. This man is a copycat right down to his tattoos, to his aura, to the best way he’s approaching fights. The man is a copycat. On the finish of the day, I believe you’ve obtained to earn that second, and I consider he might have earned it with Josh Emmett.
“Of their five-round warfare, Josh Emmett was attempting to swing. When you guys return to that struggle and watch what occurred, when Josh Emmett tried to swing, somebody shot, and somebody held somebody down for the remainder of the struggle. So, I believe the second must be earned, and he’s simply attempting to steal stuff. He’s already attempting to steal one particular person’s aura, and now he’s attempting to steal someone else’s factor.”
This will likely be Topuria’s first try at a profitable UFC title protection. He hasn’t been shy in telling followers simply how good he’s, and there will likely be stress preventing a future Corridor of Famer in Holloway.
