Top contender, Arnold Allen, has nothing but respect for former UFC featherweight champion, Max Holloway.
Allen spoke with reporters at Wednesday's media day for tomorrow night's UFC Fight Night event in Kansas City, Missouri ahead of his showdown with Holloway and expressed the admiration he has for the 31-year-old Hawaiian native's career accomplishments.
“Future Hall of Famer for sure, ex-champion, one of the greatest featherweights of all time,” Allen said (h/t MMA Junkie). “His resume is nothing short of inspiring. He’s done all the things I wanna do, and he’s set the path for the things I want to do too. He's done everything I wanna do. What better way to put me in that position, than to beat the guy that's done all those things? Obviously, there's other fighters out there, but there's no more credible than Max."
