The action delivered in waves last night (Sat., July 27, 2019) at UFC 240 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as Max Holloway successfully defended his featherweight title for the third-straight time when he knocked off Frankie Edgar in the main event.
In addition to Holloway’s return to the UFC win column, Cris Cyborg avenged her recent loss with a hard fought co-main event fight against Canadian contender Felicia Spencer, Geoff Neal continued his winning ways with a nasty TKO finish over welterweight Niko Price, promising featherweight striker Hakeem Dawodu made good on his ESPN “Prelims” bid with a brutal finish over Yoshinori Horie, and flyweight contenders Deiveson Figueiredo and Alexandre Pantoja battled it out on the undercard in one of the most exciting 125-pound affairs of the year.
