Max Holloway kommer härnäst att möta den forne lättviktsmästaren Anthony Pettis under UFC 206 i Toronto i Kanada och utlovar nu fansen något spektakulärt under det kommande mötet.
Det här berättade Holloway om matchningen via ’FloCombat’:
I’m beyond stoked for this fight. Anthony Pettis is a former champion, and I can’t wait to go out there and take one more step toward greatness. I can’t wait to show them one more example of who Max Holloway is and that’s the best fighter in the world.
Pettis does what I like to do and that’s striking. People need to tune in on Dec. 10 on pay-per-view, because Pettis and I are going to throw these hands and feet, and it’s going to be one you won’t want to miss. It’s the Hawaiian versus the Puerto Rican and both cultures are known for producing great fighters. It’s going to be a great night.
I’m so excited I finally get to be in there with someone who will be willing to stand and trade with me. Pettis is a former champion, and I have nothing but respect for him, but when those cage doors close he’s going to see what Max Holloway brings to the table.
Holloway står nu med 9 raka segrar i ryggen, men ser den kommande matchen som en nystart.
At the end of the day, this winning streak ain’t nothing now. I have a date now on Dec. 10, and I’m going for 1-0. My time is coming, but if it doesn’t then it doesn’t. I’m going to get where I’m going no matter what. In my mind, I’m the best fighter walking the planet, and UFC 206 is just one more chance to go out and make them believe.
It felt great just to get a fight but even better to get this fight in particular. This is a high-profile fight and one I know people really want to see.
’Blessed’ är glad över att få bjuda kanadensarna på en stående match och lovar att de kommer att få se ett riktigt krig mot Pettis.
People on Twitter were hitting me up asking me to please fight at UFC 206 in Canada, and I’m so happy I get to go up there and fight for them. I have a lot of fans up there and get a lot of love from Canada, and nothing makes me happier than knowing I get to go up and put on a show for them.
All I can say is I’m grateful and thankful for the fan support I receive. I’m allowed the chance to live my dream because of them. I have so much love for Team Blessed. I also have a lot of love for the Team Blessed haters because they are also tuning in to watch the pay-per-view and I still get paid. I’m proud to have any of it and I carry that support with me every step of the way.
UFC 206 äger rum i Toronto den 10 december.
