He stated that “Blessed” has already defeated interim champion Yair Rodriguez and other top competitors, meriting a spot in the championship picture at all times.
Yes, I agree that Holloway resembles a canine in some ways. As long as Volkanovski remains in place, he will undoubtedly serve as the championship fight’s “gatekeeper,” in my opinion. Just as you’ve seen him defeat opponents like Yair, who is currently vying for the championship. You’ve seen him defeat Calvin Kattar, a fierce competitor at the moment, admirably.
