Making the Grade: UFC 240: Holloway vs. Edgar
Esther Lin, MMA FightingUFC 240 wasn’t the most hyped pay-per-view of the year, but the card from Edmonton still managed to showcase another stellar performance from featherweight champion Max Holloway as well as Cris Cyborg getting back in the win column following her first loss in more than a decade.
Holloway out dueled Frankie Edgar in the main event as he earned his 13th consecutive win in the featherweight division along with his third title defense overall.
Meanwhile, Cyborg bounced back after falling to reigning two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes last December as she earned a unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated featherweight Felicia Spencer.
