"You're spiraling" - Max Holloway mocks Ilia Topuria's X callout, accepts demand to put up BMF belt on the line during UFC featherweight title fight
Max Holloway recently clapped back at Ilia Topuria by mocking his callout and agreed to put up his BMF title for a winner-take-all championship clash.
The reigning featherweight champion initially took to his X account and refuted the rumors that he turned down fights against 'Blessed' and Alexander Volkanovski. Topuria issued a callout for the Hawaiian and demanded that he put up his title or he would pursue a bout with another contender instead.
As Topuria outlined his demands for a bout against 'Blessed', the latter responded by noting that 'El Matador' was the reason for stalled negotiations. The BMF champion took a jibe at Topuria on X and mentioned that he accepts the demands for a title fight. He wrote:
"Bro you're the only one making this hard. Enough already lol. I'll 'bring your belt'. The Bit**ing Mother F***er [laugh emoji]. All you are doing is putting words together now. You're spiraling."
