Frankie Edgar vs Max Holloway — Fight recap

Max Holloway defeated Frankie Edgar by unanimous decision over five rounds at UFC 240, outstriking the former champion 129 significant strikes to Edgar's 96 while maintaining a 39% accuracy rate compared to Edgar's 36%. Holloway's striking volume proved decisive throughout the bout, landing 109 head strikes to Edgar's 57 and controlling the pace with superior output across all five frames.

Edgar attempted 15 takedowns but succeeded on just one, managing only 1:46 of control time as Holloway stuffed the wrestling-heavy approach and dictated range with his striking combinations. Neither fighter was knocked down, but Holloway's consistent volume and cleaner striking angles secured all three judges' scorecards.

The loss marked a significant moment in the featherweight division, as Edgar's bid to reclaim the title fell short against the dominant champion in his prime.
