10 UFC Fights To Watch In July
1. Max Holloway Vs. Frankie Edgar - UFC 240
The last time we saw UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway, he was taking a beating from Dustin Poirier. However, don't let that fool you, as Holloway is still one of the very best fighters in the world.
He faces former lightweight champ and perennial top contender, Frankie Edgar, in what should be a back-and-forth battle between two elite athletes. We already know what we're going to get from both men. Plenty of volume with their striking, a lot of fast paced action and some awesome scrambles during grappling exchanges.
Where these fighters are weak is where this fight gets even more interesting. Part of Edgar's game is being able to use his wrestling skills to cause scrambles. However, Holloway has managed to defend 83% of the takedowns attempted on him inside the Octagon.
On the other hand, Holloway sets a pace that most fighters can't even dream of matching. Whether or not he'll be able to do that to Edgar, who is known for having an incredible gas tank himself, is a different story.
