Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a couple days away from staging UFC 231: “Holloway vs Ortega” this Saturday night (Dec. 8, 2018) inside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The main event will see Featherweight title holder Max Holloway defend his belt against undefeated (14-0-1, 6-0-1 UFC) contender, Brian Ortega, in what will mark ‘Blessed’s” first fight in a year after pulling out of their scheduled bout at UFC 226.
The co-main event of the evening will see former UFC women’s Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk take on Valentina Shevchenko, for the vacant Flyweight strap in hopes of making history by becoming UFC’s first female fighter to win two titles in as many weight classes.
Now, take a behind-the-scenes look at the fight week preparations each fighter goes through as fight night draws closer.
