Morning Report: Max Holloway pokes fun at Conor McGregor’s Burger King deal, says he’s ‘looking forward to the two strips meal’

Conor McGregor may be the “King of chicken,” but the lightweight champ also is involved in some beef.

On Saturday night, Max Holloway was supposed to defend his UFC featherweight title against Frankie Edgar in the main event of UFC 222. But Holloway got hurt and was forced off, leaving Edgar to accept a short-notice fight against Brian Ortega instead. Ortega ended up knocking Edgar out in the first round and afterwards, the 145-pound champion took to social media to give props to Edgar for the risk he took.
