It feels like just the other day that a trilogy fight between UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway was on deck for March 5th.
Oh wait, that was two days ago.
Well the bad news has hit seemingly in record time, as Holloway has been forced to withdraw from the fight after aggravating a prior injury (per ESPN’s Brett Okamoto). It is unknown whether or not the UFC will re-book this trilogy at a later date or if we’ll see Volkanovski defend his title against someone else.
Holloway (23-6) is coming off a thrilling decision win over Yair Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 42 in November.
