McGregor vs. Holloway UFC 329 Fight Week | Mauricio Ruffy Named Main Event Backup

Welcome back to a Monday edition of Morning Kombat, Donks. Luke Thomas and Chuck Mindenhall are in the house getting you ready for UFC 329. Max Holloway hasn't received much attention, it's been all on Conor leading up to this week. So LT and The Iceman start there - What is the biggest question surrounding Holloway as we head towards Saturday's showdown? UFC lightweight Maurcio Ruffy took to social media (and reports confirmed) that he is serving as the backup for the UFC 329 main event. Was this the right choice and how does he match up with either McGregor or Holloway? Plus it was reported that middleweights-turned-light-heavyweights Reinier de Ridder and Roman Dolidze will face off on August 22nd at a Fight Night in Sacramento. How do these two match up? That and much more with the MK crew! Support the channel by becoming a member!
