Picking & Grinning: UFC 218 ‘Holloway vs. Aldo 2’


Max Holloway has no desire to relinquish power, no matter how badly Jose Aldo wants to reclaim it.

Holloway will defend the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title when he rematches Aldo in the UFC 218 headliner on Saturday at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit. In the three-round co-main event, the surging Francis Ngannou locks horns with former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem in what amounts to a heavyweight title eliminator.
