Holloway said it was “amazing” to see Volkanovski escape two submission attempts from Ortega. Appearing on the latest episode of The MMA Hour, the former UFC featherweight champion said:
Holloway fought Volkanovski twice in two closely contested title bouts. The Hawaiian fighter lost the featherweight strap to Volkanovski at UFC 245 and failed to reclaim it during their UFC 251 rematch.

Max Holloway doesn’t necessarily want a trilogy bout against Alexander Volkanovski right away
Max Holloway is gearing up for a main event showdown against Yair Rodriguez at UFC Fight Night 197. Despite being 0-2 down against the reigning 145-pound champ, a win on Saturday night would catapult ‘Blessed’ back into the title picture.
However, Holloway revealed that he isn’t necessarily fixated on a potential trilogy bout with Alexander Volkanovski. The former featherweight champ revealed he’s considering high profile matchups in the lightweight division. Holloway said:
Holloway hinted at a potential rematch with Conor McGregor, who defeated him at UFC Fight Night 26. Another possibility Holloway is apparently looking at is challenging Charles Oliveira for the 155-pound strap.
