Although Holloway is coming off of a loss to Dustin Poirier last month at UFC 236 for UFC interim lightweight championship, the Hawaiin MMA star still sees a future in the lightweight division. Which is kind of true as well, because many fans thought that the fight was extremely close and Holloway gave Poirier a run for his money.

Birds fly, fishes swim, I fight,” Holloway told MMA Junkie. “It ain’t nothing. You send me a contract with Daniel Cormier’s name on top tomorrow, you know I’m signing it. ‘DC’ I love you, my man, but I’m a fighter. It is what it is. This is a bump in the road and I can’t wait to get back. ’55 is still there. ’55 there’s a lot of challenges.

When I lost to Dustin the first time at ’45, the ladder was so long to the belt. But the ’55 ladder, it’s right there. I’m in the mix. If I go up there I feel I’ll be right in the mix with all the top contenders. No disrespect to them, but I think it’s a fun weight class to be. We’ll see what happens.” (H/T- MMA JUNKIE)

Meanwhile, Dustin Poirier is expected to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242 on September 7 in Abu Dhabi.

Do you guys think Holloway could beat top contenders in the lightweight division?
