Frankie Edgar har lyckats rada upp två segrar i UFC:s fjädervikt, sedan han förlorade sin debut i viktklassen mot mästaren Jose Aldo. Nu vet Edgar vem han vill möta härnäst, och det är ingen mindre än Cub Swanson.
Här kan ni läsa vad Frankie hade att säga, via ”MMAJunkie”:
I think I’m probably his toughest fight, his toughest out, his toughest way to the title. But if you want to be the champ, you’ve got to go beat everybody. If he doesn’t fight me now, he’s going to have to fight be sooner or later. Might as well get it done now. We’ve got time.
I think it’s the fight that makes the most sense. To sit around and wait for those guys to fight? I think this makes more sense. I think December would be perfect. It’s the last FOX card of the year. Let’s give the people a show.
I think he said a little while ago he wouldn’t mind punching me in the face. You can’t punch me in the face unless we fight. Let’s fight. He’s been saying some things, and then when it comes down to fight, we don’t get to fight. I think I’m going to be the guy to fight for that title next, and I’d like to get it done with Cub first.
Swanson är dock inte alls sugen på att möta Edgar, då han vill möta vinnaren av Chad Mendes vs. Aldo:
I can't wait to fight the winner of Aldo/Mendes! Either way the fight goes #UnfinishedBusiness

Om Cub Slutligen kommer att ändra sig återstår att se, men i dagsläget står båda kämparna utan matchningar.
