Former WEC champion and current UFC bantamweight star Urijah Faber initially was proposed to coach opposite ex-titleholder Frankie Edgar on “The Ultimate Fighter 19,” but B.J. Penn wound up getting the job. Now that the show is over and Edgar (17-4-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) has beaten Penn (16-10-2 MMA, 12-9-2 UFC) in its season-ending fight, it’s no surprise that the topic of a catchweight meeting with Faber (31-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) has resurfaced. While Edgar would prefer his next fight be against standout Cub Swanson, he said he wouldn’t necessarily turn down a meeting with “The California Kid,” who earlier this month earned a third-round submission win over Alex Caceres.
