UFC 240 Preview

Holloway (20-4 in MMA, 16-4 in the UFC) and Edgar (23-6-1, 17-6-1) have been scheduled to fight twice before — Edgar had to pull out of a bout at UFC 218 with an unspecified injury, and a leg injury knocked Holloway out of their rescheduled fight at UFC 222.

Holloway attempted to become a two-weight champion in April, but fell to Dustin Poirer via unanimous decision in his quest for the UFC interim lightweight belt.

The 27-year-old has won 13 consecutive bouts at featherweight. After he bested Anthony Pettis to claim the interim 145-pound belt, he unified the division with a third-round knockout of José Aldo. Aldo then stepped in for Edgar at UFC 218, and Holloway again stopped the Brazilian in the third.

Holloway’s most recent title defense came in December, when he outlanded Brian Ortega 307-112 in total strikes, according to Fightmetric, en route to a TKO victory.

“I always said, a champ is a champ, and a king is a king, and someone who defends their land, who defends their belt,” Holloway said of his return to featherweight, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “That’s what true kings are, that’s what true kings do, and I wanted to come back down.”

Edgar held the promotion’s lightweight belt from April 2010 to February 2012. He’s 8-3 since he slid down to featherweight full-time a year after his lightweight reign.

The 37-year-old attributed his longevity to his “persistence and [his] will to be the best,” according to Yahoo Sports.

“I’m in the gym a lot. I’m not a guy who just kind of gets ready for fights,” he added. “In between fights, even when I’m injured, I’m trying to get better. I’m always looking to improve. This sport isn’t a new sport any more, but it’s still a young sport compared to others, and it’s evolved quickly.

“If you don’t evolve with it, you get left behind. Basically, I’ve always looked to improve myself in one way or another so I was current and could compete at the highest level.”

His last time out, Edgar edged Cub Swanson via decision after three rounds at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Lee in April 2018.

“I know everybody thinks I’m going to lose and Max is going to just destroy me and all of that, and that’s fine,” Edgar said, per Yahoo Sports. “If I worried about what everyone else said, I probably never would have done this in the first place. Nobody knows better than me what I’m capable of doing and I feel fully capable of going out there Saturday and winning that fight.
