Max Holloway & Frankie Edgar are still preparing for their showdown at the upcoming UFC 240 pay-per-view event.
This is where the long-awaited fight will finally take place. Holloway will defend the UFC featherweight title against the former UFC lightweight champion in the headliner.
On Wednesday, the UFC had these two featherweight fighters take part in a staredown to promote this fight. As seen in the video, it was quite lopsided as Holloway is the taller fighter.
Edgar was last seen in the Octagon when he scored a unanimous decision win over Cub Swanson. This fight came back in April 2018 at the UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Lee event. As a result of this win, he earned a title shot against Holloway.
The UFC 240 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET and the ESPN’s streaming service, ESPN+.
The UFC has yet to announce a co-headliner for this show. The promotion will be announcing more bouts in the coming days. Here is the updated card:
