Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar was supposed to be Max Holloway’s opponent at UFC 218 in Detroit two weeks ago. But because of a broken orbital bone sustained during training, “The Answer” was forced off the card and was subsequently replaced by Jose Aldo.
On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Edgar confirmed that he is still lined up for a title shot against Holloway, per a conversation with UFC president Dana White during the UFC’s Fight Night event in Fresno on Saturday.
“He said we’re just figuring out - this is after this weekend’s fight - we’re just waiting to see what’s next,” Edgar said (via MMA Fighting).
