Edgar Looking to take Title Back
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar, who currently holds a record of 14-2-1 in Mixed Martial Arts overall and 9-2-1 in the UFC, is finally getting the match he wished for, the rematch against the current champion Benson Henderson, who is still unbeaten in his stint in the UFC. However, according to the reports that have been received, UFC President Dana White had repeatedly urged Edgar to drop to the 145 pounds division so that he could face the current UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo, but Edgar is completely focused at regaining the title from the man who took it from him later on this year.
However, it doesn’t completely rule out a future match with Jose Aldo in the future as according to Frankie Edgar himself, a match with the Brazilian fighter is almost a certainty, although he is not quite sure if that match will be in the 145 pounds Featherweight division or in the 155 pounds Lightweight division. Speaking to the UFC’s website, Edgar made it clear that he was all about fighting in big fights against big fighters and he believed that Jose Aldo is certainly a big fighter.
Edgar became the UFC Lightweight Champion almost two years back now when he defeated BJ Penn in a title match and held him off again in the rematch as well. He also managed to fight off Gray Maynard in two matches too. He lost the title to Henderson back in February via a unanimous decision and has since been looking to get his title back.
And it seems that he will get a shot at the title after a lot of chaos as to who would get the first title shot before Frankie Edgar has been confirmed by the UFC for the title shot.
