Although some might say Masvidal would have stolen the thunder, choosing to fight The Nigerian Nightmare, squaring up to be the main event at UFC 251. There is absolutely no doubt that the Featherweight Title fight between Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski is going to be bonkers.

Lately speaking to Ariel Helwani on The Helwani Show, Holloway said, “I didn’t want to put none of my coaches in harm’s way or getting arrested. Stay-at-home order in Hawaii was pretty serious. So a lot of the way I was training was exactly like this, over Zoom (video). There were Zoom classes, and you know, the first time seeing my coaches was at the airport in Vegas and then coming here,” as quoted by Sportskeeda.

It’s good to hear that fighters are willing to put their best foot forward, keeping in mind the safety of their fellow beings during this pandemic.

Known as the ‘Blessed’, before losing his title to Volkanovski via a unanimous decision, defended the title against Jose Aldo and Brian Ortega successfully. Scheduled on 12th July, as pumped as Holloway is, it would be interesting to see whether history repeats itself or Volkanovski register his 2nd MMA Professional defeat.
