Frankie Edgar has provided his reaction to the main event cancellation of his title fight against Max Holloway.
UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway was originally set to face off against former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 218. However, Edgar pulled out of the match up due to an injury.
The two mixed martial arts warriors were then rescheduled to face off at UFC 222. However, Holloway has since pulled out of the event after suffering an undisclosed injury.
Holloway would go on to offer his thoughts on the situation over Twitter.
“I asked the docs if we could cut off my leg then ask the commission if I could fight handicapped. They told me at the end of the day it is what it is… Had dozens of family from Hawaii coming up for this one… I know it sucks but hang in there. We’re going to reschedule asap”
