Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomodov provided his honest assessment for the co-main event of UFC 276 that goes down this Saturday in Las Vegas. Alexander \u2018The Great\u2019 Volkanovski looks to seal his trilogy against Max Holloway after going 2-0 against the former champion.<\/p>\n

Volkanovski had an impressive showing at UFC 273 when he defeated \u2018The Korean Zombie\u2019 in rather decisive fashion and put an emphatic stamp on his name as the champion of the division. Moreover, the featherweight division is one of the most competitive weight classes on the roster, and Volkanovski\u2019s reign is aging like fine wine.<\/p>\n

Max Holloway has been a constant presence in the division and it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s the straight edge number featherweight fighter on the planet. Despite suffering setbacks against Volkanovski in the past, he\u2019s been able to put together impressive wins against other formidable opponents and claw his way back.<\/p>\n

Despite his resilience, Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed that he\u2019s not going to be siding with Max Holloway to win the third fight. Per Nurmagomedov, his decision wasn\u2019t personal, however, he found that Alexander Volkanovski had walked through the fire more times in his career up to this point. It\u2019s for the reason that Nurmagomedov chose Alexander \u2018The Great\u2019 to come out on top in the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout Holloway-Volkanovski, I must say I\u2019m really impressed with Volkanovski about his last couple of performances,\u201d Nurmagomedov told the\u00a0UFC. \u201cI like Max Holloway. I like him. This is nothing personal, but I think Volkanovski\u2019s going to defend his title. It\u2019s a question: how? Who knows. But I see he (stays busier), fights all the time, experience \u2013 maybe experience. Like a little bit more fire. I feel he has a little bit more fire than Max Holloway.\u201d<\/em> [h\/t mmajunkie.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n

If Alexander Volkanovski is successful in defeating Max Holloway for the third time, it will be hard to deny him as the best featherweight fighter of all time. He\u2019s seemingly growing in skill and confidence and it\u2019s going to be difficult to top his elevating skillset.<\/p>\n
