Alexander Volkanovski plans to go at Max Holloway early and often.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event of UFC 276, Volkanovski and Holloway are set for their trilogy match. Although Volkanovski has won both of the previous fights, the second win was a split decision so they will be running it back for the third time.<\/p>\n

In the trilogy fight, Volkanovski says he plans to test Holloway’s chin as he says that is the key to making a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be incredible. It\u2019s a legendary chin that he has,” Volkanovski said at media day<\/a>. “I\u2019ve always said, \u2018you don\u2019t want to be known for your granite chin,\u2019 but at the same time, it is legendary at the moment. And if I could take that chin and put him out, that would really be sending a statement because no one has done that. But again, he obviously takes damage, and I\u2019ve touched on the fact that it can\u2019t hold up forever, so let\u2019s see if it holds up this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the fact the first two fights went the distance, Max Holloway has vowed to end it inside three rounds<\/a>. Alexander Volkanovski, meanwhile, believes he will be the one to end the fight as he thinks Holloway’s chin can’t stay that good forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to end it and end it early, and I think I definitely can,\u201d Volkanovski said. \u201cAnd again, I feel like that chin has to go soon. That\u2019s no disrespect to him, but it\u2019s got to go soon. I know I\u2019m landing on it and landed on it big many times. We\u2019ll see what happens. But if it ends inside the three, that\u2019s me getting the finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Volkanovski does finish Holloway at UFC 276 it would cement himself as one of, if not the best featherweights ever.<\/p>\n
