Just over two weeks removed from the first knockout loss of his career, UFC featherweight contender Frankie Edgar is on course for a quick turnaround and a fight in his home state of New Jersey.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto reported on Tuesday that a rematch between Edgar and Cub Swanson is close to being finalized for UFC Fight Night: Atlantic City on April 21st. This also means that Swanson has evidently re-signed with the UFC, having tested the free-agent market upon the expiration of his contract.
Edgar (22-6-1) was knocked out by Brian Ortega at UFC 222.
