One of the biggest UFC cards of 2019 went down Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The top of this card was a long time coming. It was over a year-and-a-half since UFC matchmakers first booked Max Holloway and Frankie Edgar. Everyone got excited. The quickness and level-changing of Edgar, the former lightweight champ, versus the pressure and striking brilliance of the featherweight titleholder. Plenty of cage craft on display in both corners.
But then Edgar got injured. So they rescheduled it for March 2018 at UFC 222. Injuries to Holloway scuttled that one.
