Quizon also has a knack for mixed martial arts. She has been spotted hitting the pads with Holloway multiple times in the past. Ahead of the 33-year-old's featherweight title bid against then-champion Ilia Topuria at UFC 308 last year, Quizon posted a sparring clip on Instagram, writing:
''What I prefer instead of flowers, lol. When Max can take some time out to hold mitts for me, he may not know it, but when I ask if he can hold mitts, it’s probably because I need to blow off some steam, especially when he’s in fight camp. It motivates me to be like him, lol. This is our type of bonding time, and it’s a time where he finally gets to teach me something."
As for Holloway, he captured the BMF belt by beating Justin Gaethje with a devastating knockout. 'Blessed' is scheduled to defend it against Dustin Poirier in a trilogy contest at UFC 318.
