An injury has forced Frankie Edgar to pull out of his UFC featherweight title fight against Max Holloway at UFC 218 on Dec. 2 in Detroit.
Both fighters have acknowledged the cancellation on social media. Edgar wrote on Instagram, “Hit with a minor setback but should be back to full contact in six weeks or so. Thanks to the @ufc for always having my back. Max I’ll see you down the road. #Believe”
Edgar (21-5-1, 16-5-1 UFC), a former UFC lightweight champion, was going to make his third attempt at winning the 145-pound title after losing twice to Jose Aldo.
