Former UFC champion Frankie Edgar has confirmed who is next opponent will be inside the Octagon.
According to Edgar, he will fight UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway in his next outing.
Edgar revealed the news about his next fight while doing commentary for a regional MMA event.
“It’s not official yet, but we are going to get a date and me and Holloway are going to throw down and fight for that featherweight title,” Edgar said.
“He’s on a tear, he’s a young kid and he poses a lot of skills. Like you said, he’s very long, rangy, almost six-foot tall, he brings a lot of pressure on the feet and he’s very crafty off his back in jiu-jitsu, and on top. He doesn’t have a lot of weak areas, but I’m going to scout through him myself and go out there, put the pressure on him and make things happen.”
Edgar went on to say he wants to fight UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor, but for now, he is focused on Holloway.
“The thing is for me, I don’t want to fight anybody that doesn’t have a title wrapped around their waist,” Edgar said. “Max (Holloway) is my number one interest, but Conor (McGregor), that’s a dream fight, but it comes with a lot of extracurriculars I guess you could say. That would be an amazing opportunity, but first things first I want to focus on Max and get this damn fight signed and get going.”
