Idk… I think Big John should have let it continue. Safety first but look at Kongo Barry and the Edgar Maynard trilogy…

I have always said, Edgar beats McGregor after McGregor beats Jose. https://t.co/147irJmt7T

Edgar has taken some epic beatings in his career. Bet he’s still fresh and strong at 34 because of how little weight he cuts.

Dear @ufc there should be zero doubts that Frankie Edgar is the number 1 contender he made a huge statement tonight #TUFFinale

Edgar is damn near a legend at this point. At least in the lighter weights. Been winning at the top level of the sport going on 9 years now

Frankie Edgar at 145 since a loss to Aldo has beat Oliveira, Swanson, Penn, Faber and Mendes and none of those fights were close.

Jose Aldo just texted Edgar.
"Can you cover for me tomorrow?" #UFC194
