Dana White expresses interest in Salahdine Parnasse calling out Max Holloway

Salahdine Parnasse defeated Dan Hooker via a first-round knockout during his UFC debut at UFC Paris. Following the victory, the 28-year-old fighter issued a callout to Max Holloway. Dana White acknowledged the bold challenge, noting that Parnasse generated significant social media engagement during his debut, ranking behind only Paddy Pimblett and Rosas Jr. in reach. Parnasse has entered the media panel UFC rankings at the number nine position. While Max Holloway remains a potential opponent, his next move depends on the status of a rumored rematch between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. If that fight proceeds, Holloway may need another opponent to remain active in the lightweight division, creating a path for a future bout with Parnasse.
