Volkanovski predicts title shot for Max Holloway with win over Charles Oliveira

Alexander Volkanovski assessed Max Holloway's path to a lightweight title shot and predicted a late finish over Charles Oliveira, underscoring the stakes around UFC 326. The comments arrive ahead of UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas, where Holloway defends the BMF title against Charles Oliveira. Volkanovski cited Holloway's wins over Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier in arguing he merits a lightweight title shot. He added that Oliveira must secure an early finish or risk being stopped in later rounds. Holloway is 4-1 since his 2022 featherweight title bid, while Oliveira has alternated results in his past six and enters off a submission win.
