Report: Max Holloway Injured, Out Of UFC 222

On Saturday, ESPN.com reported an undisclosed injury has now forced Holloway to pull out of their UFC 222 showdown. The UFC has yet to address Holloway’s status for the March 3 event, which goes down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Holloway was initially slated to defends his UFC featherweight crown against Edgar in December at UFC 218 until Edgar was forced to withdraw with a broken orbital bone.

The UFC is reportedly scouring its roster to arrange a new main event for UFC 222.

As the card currently stands, a heavyweight tango between former champion Andrei Arlovski and Stefan Struve is slotted for the show’s co-main event.
