LAS VEGAS – Frankie Edgar had no desire to wait for UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway to get healthy so they could book their twice-scheduled matchup for a later date. He still expects the title bout to happen, he just plans to go through Brain Ortega first. Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) was scheduled to face Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in the main event of UFC 222, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. “Blessed” withdrew due to injury , though, and was replaced by Ortega (13-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in a non-title co-headliner. Considering Holloway’s injury didn’t require surgery and will only keep him out for an apparent maximum of 12 weeks, Edgar would have received minimal flack for sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the champ to get healthy
