Max Holloway drops in on Edmonton Eskimos practice to teach the players a trick or two



The UFC will return to Edmonton this July for the first time in nearly two years and for just the second time ever, as UFC 240 will take place at Rogers Place on July 27. The event will be headlined by a UFC Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Max Holloway and former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar, as the two fighters will meet inside the octagon for the very first time.

While we’re still a couple of months away from UFC 240, Holloway spent some time in Edmonton on Tuesday, where he helped promote his upcoming tilt with Edgar and dropped in on the Edmonton Eskimos’ practice to give them a pep talk.



Look at that sparkle!



Thanks to @BlessedMMA for coming out before #UFC240 to talk to us about what it takes to be a champion.

After talking to the players and showing off his hardware, Holloway let the guys hold his belt and snap photos with the belt and himself while interacting with them on the field.



Not a bad way to spend your day if you’re a professional football player or Max Holloway.
