Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be back in business tomorrow night (Sat., July 27, 2019) for UFC 240 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as Max Holloway puts his featherweight strap on the line against UFC veteran and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.
In addition to the main event, the legendary Cris Cyborg will make her return to the Octagon when she takes on rising featherweight contender Felicia Spencer in the co-headliner. Promising young talents like Arman Tsarukyan, Viviane Araujo, and Gavin Tucker will also be competing throughout the main card and “Prelims.”
