Alexander Volkanovski is suspicious of Max Holloway and his offer to serve as the replacement fighter for his featherweight championship fight at UFC 273 in April.
Volkanovski and Holloway were expected to complete their trilogy at UFC 272 in March, but an undisclosed injury suffered by ‘Blessed’ forced him to withdraw from the event. The ‘Great’ was then given another opponent in Chan Sung Jung (better known as ‘The Korean Zombie’) and saw his upcoming defense shifted over to the next pay-per-view. However, less than a month after the new fight was confirmed, it was announced that Holloway received medical clearance to train again and offered to step in on short notice for either man should something happen before then.
