UFC 251 video: Alexander Volkanovski blogs journey from Sydney to Abu Dhabi

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has touched down in Abu Dhabi for his featherweight title rematch with Max Holloway.

Volkanovski’s (21-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) trip was no short one as he ventured from his native Australia to get to Yas Island, where the July 11 rematch against Holloway (21-5 MMA, 17-5 UFC) is set to go down and air on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.

The reigning 145-pound king decided to document his journey and put it together in a video blog for the fans to experience, including going through the airport, being tested for coronavirus and getting his first training sessions in.

Volkanovski posted the video on his YouTube page and you can watch it above.
