Frankie Edgar Frankie Edgar ’s decision to drop to the UFC featherweight division has paid off with rousing success, but he’s quick to warn fellow fighters that a weight-class change isn’t always a guarantee for a career turnaround. In fact, Edgar is dealing with his own issues: plenty of time on the sidelines as he awaits a title shot. Edgar’s ultimate goal is winning the UFC featherweight title, which will be up for grabs at UFC 194 on Dec. 12 when divisional kingpin Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and interim titleholder Conor McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) collide for the undisputed belt. Edgar (19-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) is determined to get a crack at the winner of that fight, but he refuses to rest while that comes to fruition. “I’m looking to fight before the year is out,” Edgar told MMAjunkie of his next potential bout.
