Frankie Edgar is calling for the next Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight title shot.
This past Saturday night (June 3) Jose Aldo and Max Holloway went one-on-one in a unification featherweight title bout. Holloway became the undisputed 145-pound title holder via third-round TKO.
Backstage at UFC 212, Edgar told the media that he’s been vying for another title opportunity (via MMAJunkie.com):
“I’ve been trying to get this title shot for so long. Sometimes things are out of my hands. Sometimes I drop the ball in a fight and didn’t get it. Right now I need to worry about things I can do and not what everybody else is doing.”
There may not be a day that passes without someone asking Edgar about a potential change in weight class. “The Answer” feels there’s unfinished business at 145 pounds.
“I’ve been fighting the best guys since I got here, and that’s what I want to do. I want to look back on my career and say I fought the absolute best from every division that I could. I don’t want to lose sight on 145 just yet.”
