Just one month after being forced to withdraw from a featherweight championship fight against Alexander Volkanovski because of an undisclosed injury, Max Holloway received medical clearance to train again.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN reported on Friday that not only did the former UFC featherweight champion get cleared, but he has also offered to serve as a replacement for either Volkanovski or Chan Sung Jung should something happen to one of them before their fight at UFC 273 in April.
Whether the UFC elects ‘Blessed’ to be the alternate fighter remains to be seen.
