Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Frankie Edgar will face off against two-time title contender Chad Mendes in the featherweight main event of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 Finale, locked and loaded for the FOX Sports 1 network later tonight (Fri., Dec. 11, 2015) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It's a risky fight for Edgar (19-4-1), who won four straight after coming up short in his bid to become featherweight champion at UFC 156, but he doesn't have much choice. Reigning division kingpin Jose Aldo is already booked to settle his score with interim titleholder Conor McGregor on Saturday.
