The biggest mix martial arts organization
is back in Detroit as the most populous city in the United States will be
hosting UFC 218 Max Holloway vs Frankie Edgar.
The Little Caesars Arena in Michigan
was chosen as the venue of the said event to be held on December 2.
Max Holloway (18-3) will be defending
his featherweight strap (145-pound) for the first time since taking it from
Jose Aldo (who held the belt for almost 10 years) during the UFC 212 main event
back in June.
The Hawaiian native had a very
outstanding performance from his last two fights (UFC212: Aldo | UFC206:
Pettis) and is currently ridding on a 11-fight win streak.
Max’s last doomed octagon drive was
in UFC Fight Night in 2013 in the hands of Conor McGregor (Split Decision).
For Frankie Edgar (22-5), he is very grateful
and elated to get back on a title fight. This is the spot where he was a few
years back.
At 35, the former lightweight champ
and a multiple-time featherweight challenger isn’t yet ready to walk away from eight-sided
circle. He just came from an impressive victory against Yair Rodriguez last May
at UFC 211.
The UFC 218 card includes some
exciting matches from different UFC divisions like heavyweight clash between Alistair
Overeem – Francis Ngannou, battle of TUF coaches Eddie Alvarez – Justin Gathje
and lastly, Henry Cejudo – Sergio Pettis.
