The UFC team also managed to capture the new champion's first call after winning the title. He speaks via video call with his son Rush and says he now has two belts and they are both for him. In the end, Holloway explains to Yancy Medeiros, a personal friend of his who won Erick silva before the main fight, how he slapped Aldo instead of punching him during the fight.
