Alexander Volkanovski is calling foul on Max Holloway offering services as a back up for his UFC 273 title fight. Volkanovski (23-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) and Holloway (23-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC) were originally booked for their trilogy fight at UFC 272 in March, but “Blessed” suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him out of the contest. The promotion then shifted plans, booking Chan Sung Jung (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) as a replacement with a new date at UFC 273 on April 9 in Jacksonville, Fla. Just a few weeks later, however, Holloway’s team revealed that the Hawaiian had been cleared to resume training and would in fact be available to fight on the UFC 273 date, should someone fall out on short notice
