Oliveira hopes to make a name for himself by defeating the former champion, but Edgar says that’s not going to happen. “It’s a unique position for me.  It means I’ve done something right in my career if guys can make names based on me.  But I’m not thinking about that happening,” he said.  “There hasn’t been a fight I haven’t shown up for.  I know Saturday night I’m going to show up.  I prepared the right way.  I did everything I could do to make sure it doesn’t happen.” Be sure to  Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook  and  Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter .
