Frankie Edgar has carved out a hall of fame-worthy resume.
“The Answer” made his professional debut in 2005, arrived in the Ultimate Fighting Championship a little more than a year later and eventually reached the mountaintop as the fourth lightweight titleholder in UFC history. Edgar’s competitive spirit held audiences captive despite his 5-foot-6 frame, as he routinely outflanked larger opponents. He has fought in three different weight classes, compiling a 24-10-1 record during a remarkable run of consistency. Age and mileage have caught up to Edgar in recent years, as he has lost five of his past seven bouts.
