(This story appears in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) Frankie Edgar is the UFC’s resident marathon man. Ask him to do a half-marathon, and he’ll probably give a “heh — sure, no problem” smirk. Edgar has been in seven consecutive five-round title fights. Six went all 25 minutes, and a seventh went deep into the fourth round. Edgar, though, isn’t alone with that type of long-distance distinction. Welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre is known for going five rounds, too, and has done so in seven of his last eight bouts. But there tends to be little doubt after St-Pierre’s fights as to whose hand will be raised.
