Frankie Edgar har vunnit fem av sina sex senaste matcher inne i oktogonen, och senast vi såg Edgar besegrade han ingen mindre än Jeremy Stephens via ett enhälligt domslut. Härnäst kommer Frankie att ta sig an Yair Rodriguez, och här kan ni se vad Edgar hade att säga om den kommande matchen via ”FloCombat”:
They say in this sport you’re either an athlete, a martial artist or a fighter. I’m a fighter first…hands down. I’ve become an athlete and a martial artist during this process, but the dog is in me and that’s who I am. That’s who I’ll always be.
I don’t need outside motivation. I kind of know what [the booking] was, but this is the fight game. This is how it works. I don’t feel slighted at all. My motivation is the guy who is standing in my way who says he’s going to beat me and says he’s going to knock me out. He’s saying it just like the last f*cking twenty guys said they were going to do. That’s who I’m going to prove wrong.
De båda kämparna kommer att mötas inne i oktogonen den 13 maj under UFC 211, en gala som kommer att gå av stapeln i Dallas.
