Max Holloway Beats Frankie Edgar by Unanimous Decision in UFC 240 Main Event

Max Holloway's reign continues after he successfully defended the UFC featherweight title against Frankie Edgar at UFC 240 on Saturday night.

Holloway beat Edgar by unanimous decision, receiving scores of 50-45, 50-45 and 48-47.

This was Holloway's first appearance since losing to Dustin Poirier for the interim lightweight title at UFC 236 in April. It was also his first fight at 155 pounds since joining UFC in 2012.

Despite that defeat, Holloway said coming into his bout with Edgar that he learned a lot from challenging Poirier.

"Losing is losing. It's only a loss if you haven't learned from something," Holloway told KHON 2's Ren Clayton.
