Dana White expressed regret over the upcoming featherweight championship fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway, stating, "This Topuria-Holloway fight is terrible because when you like both guys and they actually have to go in there, and somebody has to lose - it sucks." White's emotional commentary highlights the conflict for fans when two beloved athletes face off, underscoring the difficulty of the situation for those who appreciate both fighters' skills and character.
White praised both fighters, saying about Max Holloway, "Max Holloway is one of the greatest ever to do it and just one of the nicest dudes... Topuria has been an absolute rockstar." His remarks showcase the respect he has for both fighters, emphasizing how their respective accolades and personalities enhance the anticipation for the fight.
Discussing the significance of the Topuria-Holloway matchup, White noted Topuria's unbeaten streak and recent victory: "Topuria is unbeaten in 15 professional bouts and is coming off a second-round stoppage of Alexander Volkanovski to claim featherweight gold at UFC 298." This highlights Topuria's impressive performance and the stakes of the championship clash.
On Holloway’s return to the featherweight division, White remarked, "He’s filled out a little bit since he’s gotten older. 100% [he looks different] and different from when he fought [Dustin] Poirier too, it's an interesting fight - a very interesting fight." This points to Holloway's evolution as a fighter and the potential dynamics of their upcoming bout.
