Frankie Edgar mötte Jose Aldo under UFC 156 i februari 2013 och han gick då med förlust genom ett enhälligt beslut.
Coachen Ricardo Almeida hävdar nu att Edgar borde få förtur till en retur mot Aldo, innan Conor McGregor eventuellt får den chansen.
Det här säger Almeida, via ”MMAJunkie”:
We do really well with rematches, and Frankie’s danced with him once. I’ve got so much confidence that it would be a totally different story the second Aldo fight, including, too, that nobody talks about it really – Frankie is the only one to outstrike Aldo (in the) third, fourth and fifth round. He outstruck him, bottom line.
I think that if we strictly go by the first fight between Frankie and Aldo, Frankie outstruck him three out of five rounds, and there was quite a few fighters that actually think Frankie won. There’s quite a few MMA analysts, knowledgeable people in the industry that thought when the decision was announced that Frankie was going to walk out the new featherweight champion. Of course, I’m biased from being in Frankie’s camp, but if we go by what happened, I think Frankie is deserving.
Edgar vann i helgen över Cub Swanson via submission under UFC Fight Night 57.
