Max Holloway on Prep Modifications for Ilia Topuria Battle
In a brand new video posted on his YouTube channel, Max Holloway admitted that Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje are two vastly totally different fighters. With that mentioned, the prep work isn’t a drastic change (through MMAFighting.com).
“It’s MMA. Each man, each opponent is totally different,” Holloway mentioned. “Is Ilia totally different from Gaethje? Sure. Is the coaching for Gaethje versus Ilia totally different? Sure. But it surely’s the identical. It’s MMA. It’s what we do. I struggle a sure model, I struggle a sure method. Opponents change however we attempt to keep the identical… It’s MMA. You’re going to need to make shifts, particularly when sure guys you’re combating. Are Gaethje and Ilia the identical opponent? No. Very totally different guys, very totally different approaches we’re going to make use of.”
Holloway went on to say that he realized quite a bit from Topuria’s knockout win over Alexander Volkanovski. Holloway mentioned the struggle made him take concussions extra critically. He knew the chatter about Volkanovski returning to the Octagon too quickly after being stopped through head kick by UFC light-weight champion Islam Makhachev.
