As expected, Frankie Edgar will still get his promised shot at the featherweight title. According to MMA Junkie, Edgar has been booked to meet champion Max Holloway at UFC 222 in Las Vegas. The UFC hasn’t confirmed the fight as of yet.
Edgar (22-5-1, 16-5-1 UFC) had previously been scheduled to fight Holloway in the main event of UFC 218 in December, but was forced out of the bout due to a facial injury. His replacement, former champion Jose Aldo, was stopped by Holloway in the third round of their bout.
