“This guy’s a beast. I feel great. His boxing’s pretty good. He was moving like a boxer but then he was throwing elbows. Fair game to him. This guy’s a freaking beast. That’s why I wanted to fight him.”

“This guy’s a beast. I feel great. His boxing’s pretty good. He was moving like a boxer but then he was throwing elbows. Fair game to him. This guy’s a freaking beast. That’s why I wanted to fight him.”
“We’ll see what happens,” remarked Holloway, when asked about future fights.
“I got a win over the 155 champion (Charles Oliveira), we’ve got Alex (Volkanovski) and stuff. I’m on the shortlist for Conor McGregor.
