Max Holloway Posts Tribute To Frankie Edgar Following UFC 240 Bout

– Max Holloway proved once again why he’s the best featherweight in the world this past Saturday at UFC 240 when he picked apart Frankie Edgar en route to a unanimous decision victory. After the fight, Holloway had nothing but praise for Edgar, calling him a legend in the sport. Edgar is a former UFC Lightweight Champion and a future Hall of Famer.

Holloway took to Instagram to further praise Edgar following their fight.

“The GOAT talk always makes me cringe. Legends can coexist. Frankie was gonna win no matter what last night because I am part Frankie. I am who I am as a father and martial artist because of some of the things I’ve learned from Frankie and coach Mark Henry. Proud to be Hawaiian, proud to be honorary Canadian. But if you know this sport the way us fighters know it, every champ reps a little bit of Jersey whether they like it or not because of these two legends.”
