On Sunday night, UFC 276 kicks off in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On the gala match card, two heavy fights are engraved.
In addition to the title match between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway in featherweight, the gala's main event is where Israel Adesanya puts his middleweight belt at stake for the fifth time when he receives Jared Cannonier in the octagon.
Middleweight champion Adesanya (22-1) is looking forward to the match.
- This is the biggest show of the year.
And I will make it look easy because King Kong does not have a shit to oppose me, says "Styleblender" after the weigh-in.
The challenger Cannonier (15-5-0) does not let himself be intimidated.
- I am ready to show up, ready to blow up and ready to send my fist up in victory and take the belt home with me, he says.
Both Adesanya and Cannonier managed the weight during the weigh-in without any problems.
