The early betting odds for a fight that has been months in the making have been released.

UFC officials have already announced that UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway will make his next title defense against former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 222.

If you recall, this bout was originally scheduled for the UFC 218 pay-per-view event last month. However, Edgar was forced to withdraw from the fight after suffering a broken orbital bone in training.

This led to Holloway fighting Jose Aldo in a rematch, which saw Holloway successfully retain his title with a grisly third-round TKO.

Holloway is currently on a 12-fight win streak, which is the fifth-longest undefeated run in UFC history.

On the flip side, Edgar has picked up a 7-2 record since dropping down to 145 pounds. His only losses came from Aldo by decision. It should be noted that Edgar only fought once last year which saw him score a second-round win via doctor’s stoppage over top prospect Yair Rodriguez.

Holloway opened as a sizable betting favorite over Edgar as Holloway was listed as the favorite (-280) to defeat Edgar (+225) in the opening betting lines.

UFC 222 is set to take place on March 3, 2018, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET while the preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass. Here is the updated card:

Champ Max Holloway vs. Frankie Edgar – for featherweight title

C.B. Dollaway vs. Hector Lombard

Sean O’Malley vs. Andre Soukhamthath

Andrei Arlovski vs. Stefan Struve

Mackenzie Dern vs. Ashley Yoder

Touted women’s MMA prospect Mackenzie Dern is set for her Octagon debut.

Word arrived from MMA Fighting today (Mon., January 1, 2018) that the talented Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion will make her inaugural walk in the UFC against Ashley Yoder at March 3’s UFC 222 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

With longtime former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey out of competition and likely never to return, the UFC has been searching for a women’s star to potentially replace “Rowdy,” and Dern, who’s won multiple BJJ world titles and is the daughter of respected grappler Wellington “Megaton” Dias, has been tabbed for that exact role ever since making her MMA debut in 2016.

Since then, Dern has racked up five straight wins, with her most recent a submission victory over Kaline Medeiros at December’s Invicta FC 26. Dern did show a tendency of missing weight during her early MMA days in Legacy FC, prompting a move up to flyweight in her fourth bout versus Mandy Polk this October. She returned to strawweight for her win over Medeiros.

With her weight cutting issues hopefully behind her, Dern will meet Yoder, who has lost her only two UFC bouts to Justine Kish and Angela Hill, in a gauge of her UFC readiness.

UFC 222 currently does not have a headliner for the event from T-Mobile Arena.

A battle between seasoned heavyweight veterans has been booked for UFC 222.

According to MMAFighting.com, UFC officials announced earlier today (Dec. 28, 2017) that former champion Andrei Arlovski and Stefan Struve will face off on the card, which is set for March 3, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Arlovski returned to the UFC in 2014 and went on a four-fight winning streak that included victories over Brendan Schaub, Antonio Silva, Travis Browne and Frank Mir. Since then, however, he’s lost five of his last six bouts with four of those losses coming by way of stoppage.

After scoring back-to-back victories over Silva and Daniel Omielanczuk in 2016, Struve had has winning streak halted this past September when he suffered a TKO loss to Alexander Volkov in the main event of UFC Fight Night 115.

UFC 222 does not yet have a main event.
