Separately, on the podcast, Donald Trump asked Joe Rogan about the likelihood of Kamala Harris coming out of the White House for the show, to which the podcaster emphasized that he could imagine it. “I could imagine her doing this show. She should do it, she could still do it and I hope she does. I would talk to her like a human. I would try to have a conversation with her… I think we would have a good conversation.” Rogan said.

Observing Rogan’s thoughts, Donald Trump cheekily mocked his opponent: “I hope she does because it would be a mess. She would be on the floor in a coma. She would say, ‘Call the doctors.'” The election is scheduled to take place on November 5th and the likelihood of Kamala Harris appearing on Joe Rogan’s show seems slim. Now that we know about the political scenario in the US, let’s move on to Dustin Poirier’s warning to Ilia Topuria.

Dustin Poirier gives Ilia Topuria warning signs against Max Holloway

Ilia Topuria is ready to defend his featherweight title against Max Holloway and the day of reckoning has finally arrived. “El Matador” promised to knock out Max Holloway in the first round – “I’ll take him out in the first round.” This confession from the featherweight champion caught the attention of Dustin Poirier, who has also fought and defeated Max Holloway twice in two weight classes.

The former interim lightweight world champion emphasized that it would be very difficult for Ilia Topuria to knock out Max Holloway, considering that the holder of the “BMF” belt is now hungrier. “Anything could happen in this game except go out there and give Max a hit [Holloway]will be almost impossible, I think. It can certainly happen. But I don’t think that will be the case… This is a big test. If he goes in there and beats Max or can keep up with Max in the volume game and outwork him, beat him technically on the feet – that will say so much about Ilia and where he’s going to go.” said Poirier in a conversation with Mike Bohn.

He further added: “I can’t decide against Max. I could see Topuria winning, but only Max, the experience and the championship fights he has been in.” Many fighters choose Max Holloway over Ilia Topuria specifically because of his experience, but let’s not forget that people also chose Jose Aldo over Conor McGregor. With the Holloway fight getting closer with each passing minute, Topuria has also had to deal with questions about another future fight.

Ilia Topuria shares his honest opinion on Alexander Volkanovski’s rematch

UFC 298 witnessed the clash between Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkanovski. Topuria kept his promise and knocked the Australian fighter unconscious in the second round to ensure he secured both the win and the belt. Months have passed since the incident and Topuria is ready to defend his title against Max Holloway, but Topuria believes Volkanovski still deserves a rematch with him.

While speaking to Fox Sports Australia, Ilia Topuria stressed that he would willingly give Alexander Volkanvoski a chance after the fight with Max Holloway. “Without a doubt he deserves a rematch. If it has to happen in Australia, we will go there.” Furthermore, Ilia Topuria changed the mood at the pre-fight press conference when he stated that “The Great” would have to fight him in Madrid.

He further added: “If that makes him happy and thinks about me maybe going to Australia, that’s fine, but for me personally that’s never going to happen. I am the champion and if you want to fight for the title again, it will be in Madrid and not in Australia in front of your people. Why would I want to give you this advantage?”

The conclusion of the fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway would determine the fate of the featherweight division. Regardless, how do you assess the collision? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
