Max Holloway Offers To Give Khabib A Title Shot

In a new statement, Khabib’s manager said his fighter will not accept a fight for any UFC interim world title.

“Khabib’s next fight, we’re not fighting for no damn interim belt,” said Khabib’s manager. We want the real belt, or we don’t want nothing. We appreciate everything the UFC has done for us, but it’s time for a real belt. Nobody is interested in fighting for a fake belt. Tony Ferguson has a fake belt. Nobody wants this.”

This means that either Khabib must fight Conor McGregor, or the UFC must strip Conor McGregor and give Tony Ferguson the undisputed world title.

Well, now enter a third option, as UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway has offered up himself as a champion for the Russian star.

Max tells TMZ, “That’s the kind of guy you want to fight to cement your legacy,” Max said. “If you wanna be the best you gotta beat the best.”
