It’s technically not the first time, but featherweight champion Max Holloway and Frankie Edgar came face to face Wednesday ahead of their UFC 240 title fight in July.
Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) will attempt to make a third consecutive defense of his title against Edgar (23-6-1 MMA, 17-6-1 UFC), who was scheduled to challenge Holloway at UFC 218 in December 2017 before he suffered an injury and was replaced by Jose Aldo. “The Answer” was then given the shot again at UFC 222 in March 2018, but this time it was Holloway who pulled out due to injury.
Hopefully the third time is a charm.
UFC 240 takes place July 27 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. The main card will stream on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
You can watch the faceoff in the video above.
