Frankie Edgar is turning toward the bantamweight title after winning his divisional debut against Pedro Munhoz at UFC on ESPN 15. Edgar (24-8-1 MMA, 18-8-1 UFC), the former UFC lightweight champion, made a successful drop down to 135 pounds from featherweight and edged out a split decision win over Munhoz (18-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in their headlining bout, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and aired on ESPN. It was a huge moment for Edgar, who turns 39 in October and had seemingly hit a dead end at 145 pounds in terms of title contention.
