This would be Max Holloway&#8217;s first title defense since taking out once featherweight king Jose Aldo. The title alluded Edgar at every turn in his two fights with Aldo. He then missed out on a title fight again when he wasn&#8217;t able to step in to fight Conor McGregor on short notice due to a groin injury. No news on if Max Holloway will be fighting a replacement or if they&#8217;ll wait to reschedule the fight, but the UFC needs to keep all the big match-ups they can moving in towards the end of the year.
