UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway wants to fight again in 2019 but he’s not quite ready to commit to a quick turnaround to face Alexander Volkanovski in October.
Holloway defended his title for the third time on Saturday night with a unanimous decision victory over Frankie Edgar. While he seemed to walk away from the bout unscathed, the 27-year old Hawaiian wasn’t going to just accept his next fight without going through proper testing to see if he would be physically ready in time for UFC 243
That card takes place in a 60,000 seat stadium in Melbourne, Australia, which also happens to be Volkanovski’s home country.
