Frankie Edgar has his sights set on featherweight gold, and it's a goal he's pursuing relentlessly.
Since dropping down into 145-pound waters in 2012, the former lightweight champion has carved a path through the featherweight divisional ranks and has done so with what is perhaps the most impressive run of his career. Where the fighting pride of Toms River, New Jersey, found his initial success at the elite level of the sport working behind his lion-hearted drive and utter refusal to lose, the most recent chapter of the 33-year-old veteran's career has been brilliantly written with a mixture of technique and tenacity.
