Shout out to Megan Olivi, it feels like forever since I’ve seen her do a proper pre-fight interview with anyone. I mainly just see her in those short 6 minute backstage interviews

Everyone doubting this man but guess what we'll gonna find out oct 26.

How do you not love Max? Win or lose Saturday, he's leaving behind a legacy that's bigger than combat sports.

[mikextase]

He is the perfect example of what can be, while being unburdened by what has been.

I'm a Topuria fan, but I have all the respect in the world for Max Holloway. This dude is legend. How can you not like this guy?

Megan is the best. So glad to see her career intact and improving. Not anyone can interview UFC fighters. She has lived the life. She knows. That can not be duplicated.
