Max Holloway made certain there was no pot of gold at the end of Frankie Edgar’s latest rainbow.
Holloway outstruck, outmaneuvered and generally outclassed Edgar in the UFC 240 headliner, as he retained his undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title with a five-round unanimous decision on Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Scores were 50-45, 50-45 and 48-47, all for the Hawaiian.
Never once did the outcome feel as though it was in doubt. Holloway outperformed the challenger, both statistically and in terms of the physical toll he exacted.
