After his loss at UFC 276, Max Holloway proclaimed Alexander Volkanovski to be MMA’s top pound-for-pound fighter. ## This past Saturday at UFC 276, the #1 in UFC featherweight rankings faced Alexander Volkanovski for the UFC Featherweight Championship. Holloway lost the bout via unanimous decision in a one-sided contest. ## Following the loss, “Blessed†was transported to the hospital and did not speak with reporters at the T-Mobile Arena. On Sunday, Holloway took to social media to give his first public thoughts on the loss, as well as heap praise upon Volkanovski. ## I’m still up 2-0 on knockdowns for trilogy. Prob gonna need a 4th to settle this,†Holloway jokingly stated. “Just playing. Congrats to my brother [Alexander Volkanovski]. Go get that [lightweight] strap. You earned the shot. You’re No. 1 [pound-for-pound] right now. ## “To all the fans, do not cry for me, Argentina. This is part of life. We need to rebuild and we will. I love you!†## It's not clear what will happen next for Holloway, whether he wants to stick to featherweights or jump to lightweights. There are certainly plenty of attractive options for a 30-year-old. ## To all the fans do not cry for me Argentina. This is part of life. We need to rebuild and we will.
