Frankie Edgar responds to Alex Volkanovski, says UFC 240 title shot against Max Holloway ‘makes sense’

Not everybody is happy with Frankie Edgar’s title shot against reigning featherweight champion Max Holloway at UFC 240 — least of all Alexander Volkanovski.

Edgar’s upcoming championship bout against Holloway will mark ‘The Answer’s’ third crack at the UFC featherweight title, and Volkanovski thinks the UFC is only offering it to him out of sympathy.

Edgar, however, feels he’s deserving of the matchup. Speaking to MMA Fighting’s Chuck Mindenhall in a recent interview, the 37-year-old stated his case for a title shot and assured Volkanovski, who is on a whopping seventeen-fight win streak, his time will soon come.
