Max Holloway opened up on his cordial relationship with Alexander Volkanovski ahead of UFC 276.

Despite having a professional rivalry, there is no personal animosity between two of the greatest featherweights of all time. While speaking to Fox Sports Australia, Holloway stated that he doesn't get paid to fight the Australian outside the octagon. Hence, it's of no use to him to hate his opponent and jeopardize the fight by doing something silly ahead of the contest. The former UFC featherweight champion stated:

Watch Max Holloway speak to Fox Sports Australia:

Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway will lock horns for the third time in their careers this weekend at UFC 276. 'The Great' has two decision wins over 'Blessed' at the moment.

His first win came at UFC 245 as he dethroned the Hawaiian to capture the belt. Volkanovski earned a controversial split decision in their rematch at UFC 251 to mark his first title defense. However, the champion was superb in his next two fights, racking up wins against Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung.

Holloway was once a longstanding champion of the division before losing the strap to Volkanovski. The winner of this fight can lay claim to being the greatest featherweight fighter of all time. The 145lbs title fight will occupy the co-main event spot at UFC 276.
