The former UFC lightweight champion and current top featherweight speaks openly and honestly, rarely (if ever) resorting to hyperbole or smack talk to assert a point.
He's a tough and gritty former wrestler with polished all-around skills inside the cage, and his heart and will to compete has earned him an impressive four-fight winning streak inside the UFC's 145-pound class.
As such, Edgar finds himself near the top of the division, patiently awaiting a matchup with golden implications.
Current divisional champion Jose Aldo and interim champion Conor McGregor will face off at a yet-to-be-determined time and location to unify their belts, and beyond them, Edgar is on the shortlist of reasonable challengers at 145.
