Frankie Edgar lyckades under natten besegra Cub Swanson via submission med bara fyra sekunder kvar av femte ronden, då de möttes vid ”UFC: Fight Night 57” i Texas. Nu anser Edgar att han står på tur för att möta fjäderviktsmästaren Jose Aldo, och detta hade han att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
It should be me, based on my performance, based on what I’ve done in my career, it should be me. I’m here to stay. I’m coming. I’m not going to be an easy fight for anybody, I guarantee that.
I think just the fact that I’m improving, steadily improving. That’s always my goal. I stay in the gym and train with great people like Edson (Barboza) and I have great coaches. I just want to keep improving. I kind of put my mind to get this finish, and I worked hard to get it, and I was glad to be able to.
I’d love to fight in Jersey. But everybody knows what I want; I want that title. If Conor wins his next fight, it’s either me or him, I’m thinking. If it’s not me, it’s him, and I probably wouldn’t fight him in Jersey. But yeah, I’m down.
Frankie har nu radat upp tre raka segrar sedan förlusten mot Aldo, där de två senaste tillkommit via avslut. Vem han kommer att få möta härnäst återstår att se.
