Sterling explained why Holloway can beat Topuria in a UFC title fight

American mixed martial arts fighter Aljamain Sterling assessed Max Holloway's chances of defeating current UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria.

«In my opinion, there is only one possible outcome for Holloway. Max is successful at keeping his distance and scoring points by hitting Topuria with punches. If he can do that, it will be very interesting to watch the last few rounds.

Once Topuria starts expending a lot more energy than he's used to, the fight could immediately stop being predictable. If Holloway puts on a vintage Max style fight, then we'll get a very intriguing fight», vRINGe.com quoted Sterling as saying.

The title fight between Holloway and Topuria will take place on Oct. 27 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
