The UFC it set to put on two numbered events in July, the latter of which will take place north of the U.S. border.
UFC 240 is set for July 27 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card is scheduled for pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
Canada’s adopted son headlines the card, when champion Max Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) returns to the featherweight division after a one-fight stint at lightweight to put his belt on the line against Frankie Edgar (23-6-1 MMA, 17-6-1 UFC), who he has been scheduled to face twice before.
In the co-headliner, former longtime champ Cris Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) looks to earn her way back to a title shot in the women’s featherweight division when she takes on undefeated Canadian Felicia Spencer (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in a likely title eliminator for the weight class.
Both matchups are prominently featured on the official UFC 240 event poster, which can be found below (via Twitter):
