Despite originally being cleared to fight at the event, Max Holloway will no longer be challenging for the UFC Featherweight Championship against Volkanovski.

It was however revealed by ESPN that Holloway is now back in training and will reportedly be the alternate should Volkanovski or Korean Zombie won’t be available for the fight night on Saturday April 9th from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, FL, United States.

The highly anticipated rematch between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan will be co-headlining this card. This will be the first time that the two men have met since Yan got himself disqualified during their last contest, losing his 135-pound title in doing so.
