Max Holloway's elite showing against No.4-ranked contender Arnold Allen was the perfect way to bounce back from his third loss to current champion Alexander Volkanovski last year.

Having already beaten most of the top contenders, including interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez, Holloway's performance begs the question of whether he should get a fourth crack at Volkanovski, despite being down 0-3 to 'The Great'.

UFC fans on Twitter weighed in on the debate after the question was posed by MMA on Point.

One fan reminded everyone of the lopsided nature of their last meeting and remarked that a handicapped Volkanovski would make the fight even:

"Volk somehow losing his right arm is the only way to make this fight competitive"

Others commented on how a fourth meeting is just not plausible:

"I don’t see how it could happen. Max lost convincingly the first time. Second razor close could go either way. But after that third, no need for a fourth fight. We saw what we had to see"

However, others maintained that Holloway was the clear second-best fighter in the division and deserved to challenge again for the title:

The possibility of either Max Holloway or Alexander Volkanovski moving up to the lightweight division was also considered by fans:

Ilia Topuria also featured heavily in the replies as a legitimate contender to beat in order to stake a claim to the title shot:


Max Holloway welcomes the idea of fighting "OG" Korean Zombie next

In the aftermath of his latest victory against Arnold Allen, Max Holloway fielded questions about his next fight and entertained the idea of facing off against Chan Sung Jung next.

He spoke at the UFC Kansas City post-fight press conference and had this to say about a potential fight against fellow promotional veteran 'The Korean Zombie':

"If Korean Zombie wants to get it, he can get it. He can get it. I would love to fight. That’s one of the guys I’ve been growing up and watching. I’m kinda tripping on how the hell we didn’t fight yet. How did we not fight? If that’s one of the guys, then that’s one of the guys. I would love to fight and share the octagon with him. He’s one of the OGs that I didn’t get to fight yet. That was like, we came up in the same era and we didn’t fight each other, so if that’s it, that’s it.”
