UFC star and BMF champion Max Holloway has called out Ilia Topuria for continuing to carry around the BMF title.
As we know, Max Holloway officially holds the BMF championship. However, after he was knocked out by Ilia Topuria in their UFC featherweight title fight, some felt as if Ilia should’ve won the belt – including the man himself. With that being said, the strap wasn’t officially put on the line by the promotion.
Topuria even decided to buy a replica belt and pose with it several times. As you can imagine, that seems to have rubbed Max Holloway the wrong way, as he noted in the UFC 318 post-fight press conference after successfully defending the title against Dustin Poirier.
