That won’t be the only title belt matchup on tonight’s fight card. In what should make for a great third fight between these two, featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (24-1-0) will put his belt on the line against a very capable challenger in Max Holloway (23-6-0) to try and wrap up this trilogy for good. Elsewhere, fan-favorite bantamweight “Sugar” Sean O’Malley and his crazy hair will face off against Pedro Munhoz.
