It would appear that former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar is ready to take on the featherweight champion. He wants to beat Max Holloway in front of his home crowd.
UFC featherweight interim champion Max Holloway unified his title on Saturday night, when he defeated Jose Aldo at UFC 212. Now, Frankie Edgar says he is ready to take on the new champion.
In an interview with Flo Combat, Edgar explained that he wants to face Holloway on his own turf.
“I’ve been fighting the best competition fight after fight only high ranked guys. I’m the only one Max hasn’t fought yet. If Max wants to be this dominant champion and clear the division he would have to face me. I’d imagine he would want to test himself against someone like myself and not someone he has already finished.”
Edgar continued, “I saw Max says he’d like to add another former champ to his list,” Edgar said. “I wouldn’t mind fighting in Hawaii and conquering the king in his own land.”
