Frankie Edgar won't wait for winner of Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor, needs the money

Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar won't be waiting for the outcome of Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor. “I’ve got three kids, man. I’m trying to make some money," says Edgar.

Last month, the usually soft-spoken Frankie Edgar exploded on Twitter when he claimed that the UFC were 'milking the cow' in Conor McGregor after his victory over Chad Mendes at UFC 189. 'The Answer' was adamant in campaigning for an interim featherweight title fight with the Irishman in July, but the UFC decided to book McGregor as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter while Jose Aldo rehabilitates his rib.
