BMF champion Max Holloway received an interesting fight offer on UFC 318.
Hawaii's Holloway became the first hunter to successfully defended the BMF title when he defeated Dustin Poirier through a unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 318.
There is no shortage of fun fights for Holloway at lightweight after his poirier pension. 'Blessed' could possibly restore lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, who handed him his first knockout loss of his career at UFC 308.

Michael Johnson wants to fight Max Holloway after winning at UFC 318
Michael Johnson fought a row of a murderer at 155 pounds.
Johnson has been in the UFC and fights against the unbeaten Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Nate Diaz and Justin Gaethje since 2010. One of Johnson's most striking victories is a first round knockout from Dustin Poirier in 2016.
Johnson achieved a huge upset victory at the UFC 318 head card and defeated very exhausted prospect Daniel Zellhuber by unanimous decision.
After the fight, Johnson expressed his desire to fight best, and as Holloway always says: “The best is blessed.”
“I thrown the idea: Me and Max Holloway,” Johnson told Bloody Elbow and other reporters at the UFC 318 Post-Fight Press Conference.
“He is one of the best hunters who ever encounter the division.
“I told everyone of the day in this organization, I want the best of the best fighting and Max Holloway is one of the best.
“That will be a nice fight of five round for me and him,” Johnson added.
A former top 5-year-old, Johnson is currently not, but the 39-year-old drives a three-Fight win-streak.
Michael Johnson Brak Dustin Poirier's Vier-Vecht Winstreak
Johnson gave Poirier his first loss at lightweight in 2016, in the five -round main event of UFC Hidalgo.
'The Menace' needed only 95 seconds in the opening round and years later to have Ko Poirier, the victory is beautifully outdated.
Poirier no longer lost until he fought against Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title in 2019.
Poirier would probably have made it a title fight much earlier if he was not eliminated by Johnson, who took his four-fighter win racing.
