Holloway faced criticism for his comments from the online MMA community and he fired back during a recent interview with PlayMaker.
“If I was born in a different time – probably would have been a gladiator…Last time I checked Gladiators didn’t walk around with a scale asking what weight you was…If you’re a “BMF”, you gotta step up and fight anybody…”
“I see the minds blown, everybody being like ‘wait until heavyweight, Francis Ngannou you should fight him’. Bring it on brother. You think I care? That’s why me and you guys is different.
“Even some fighters is worried about certain weights, why? If you’re in the pound-for-pound list you should be willing to fight anybody. That’s what the pound-for-pound list is for.”
