Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier, Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway face off at UFC 276 pre-fight press conference
Cannonier will challenge Adesanya for the middleweight strap in the evening’s main event.
After winning the title from Robert Whittaker at UFC 243, Adesanya has successfully defended the gold against Yoel Romero, Paulo Costa, Marvin Vettori and Whittaker. Adesanya’s sole MMA defeat came when he challenged Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight title last year.
Cannonier has won five of his last six, including his most recent two bouts that saw Cannonier defeat Kelvin Gastelum by decision and Derek Brunson by knockout.
As for Volkanovski and Holloway, this will be the third time that the two fight. The pair first met at UFC 245, an event that saw Volkanovski take the featherweight championship from Holloway in a fairly decisive clash. Their second bout was a much different story, however, as that Volkanovski decision win was controversial in nature.
Volkanovski has since retained the belt against Brian Ortega and “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung, while Holloway has scored wins over Calvin Kattar and Yair Rodriguez.
