Salahdine Parnasse wants 'war' with Max Holloway after UFC Paris debut, has no interest in taking it slow

Salahdine Parnasse, a lightweight contender, made his UFC Paris debut on Saturday, defeating Dan Hooker with a body kick. The former KSW two-division champion expressed his desire to immediately return to training and fight again, even suggesting a rematch with Hooker. When asked about his next opponent, Parnasse revealed his interest in facing former BMF and featherweight champion Max Holloway, stating that the challenge would be good for both fighters.

Parnasse believes that Holloway, who enjoys difficult fights, would appreciate the opportunity. He added that the fight would be conducted with respect, as he deeply respects the all-time great featherweight-turned-lightweight contender. If Parnasse cannot secure the matchup with Holloway, he is open to fighting any ranked top-five contender.
