A man who knows more about this than any other, is Alexander Volkanovski, who, despite winning each of their three fights, does not seem to come from Holloway.
After he had also returned from a difficult series of results earlier this year when he won the empty featherweight title, 'The Great' was full of praise for his former rival.
In his immediate response to fight on YouTube, Volkanovski emphasized the ability of Holloway to constantly reinvent himself after major setbacks.
“I'm going to give Max a moment to just say how incredible that was. It is not easy to come back from losing. He has shown time and again by big losses, not just small losses, such as world title losing tears.
“Even our third fight, to win the way I did, you probably think:” Oh, am I ready? “. You are going to get some negative thoughts.
“Incredibly fight by Max and to come back like that, touché mate.”
