Frankie Edgar skulle tidigare ha accepterat en utmaning från den forne dubbelmästaren Conor McGregor. Edgar är fortfarande intresserad av mötet, men har inte hört någonting mer om en potentiell matchning.
Han vill veta snart om detta kommer att bli av, annars tänker han ta en annan match. Edgar menar även att han tror att UFC inte vill se en match mellan honom och McGregor.
Via ESPN:
I told him I want to fight him. I told the UFC I want to fight him. But honestly, I don’t think the UFC wants that fight. I don’t know whether they don’t want it because they don’t want him to lose to me or they don’t think they can build it. I don’t know what it is. But ultimately, I think it’s up to him. I think if he forces it, it could happen. The ball is in his court.
He can make the call. Conor, if you want to do this, let’s do it, baby.
Som det ser ut just nu verkar McGregor fortfarande mest intresserad av en returmatch mot Khabib Nurmagomedov, som han förlorade mot under UFC 229. Men Edgar tror att han skulle bli en perfekt matchning för en comeback för irländaren.
It’s a great fight. He’s coming off a couple losses, really. He needs a win. Listen, I felt like all the s— he’s [dealing with], throwing the phone, hitting [the] dude. He’s gotten a lot of bad press. Come in and fight me, I’m not gonna talk no junk. Get a clean bill of health after me. Maybe it’ll bring up his morale in a sense. Maybe that’s what he’s thinking, I don’t know. No matter what it’s gonna be a great fight. He’s f—in’ gonna sell it. I’m not gonna let him talk too much s—. I’ve gotta say something back. We’ll get it going.
