Frankie Edgar segrade tidigare mot Chad Mendes under TUF 22 Finale i december och hoppades då på att få gå titelmatch mot fjäderviktsmästaren Conor McGregor.
McGregor gick sedan upp till lättvikt och kommer nu få möta lättviktsmästaren rafael Dos Anjos. Edgar kommer nu att få vänta på sin titelmatch eller möta Jose Aldo under tiden. Han hoppas dock på att få möta McGregor under UFC 200.
I think that is the biggest fight, I think that’s the fight most people are interested in seeing and I’m hoping the UFC does the right thing and books me and Conor for UFC 200.
It gives a bigger aura to Conor and his image and what he’s done and it definitely makes it a bigger fight. But I’m buddies with Rafael and I’m not one to throw daggers at anybody and wish anyone bad. I think he’s a very tough fight for Conor, he has all the skills to beat him.
Om McGregor vinner mot Dos Anjos tror han att han kan ta hem fjäderviktsbältet i en match mot irländaren och sedan gå upp till lättvikt för att ta bältet där.
I’d love to. We can do it back-to-back and that will be UFC 204 or whatever, that would be the next biggest fight. I’m game. If they let me get my hands on him once, I’ll definitely re-do it.
I’m hoping I get to fight on the biggest card in UFC history and make history by winning two titles. I will be there March 5 and maybe I’ll have to parachute my ass into that Octagon, they can’t get me out of there.
