It takes a lot to make what was old in MMA new again.
This October, Frankie Edgar will be 39 years old. Fifteen in MMA years, thirteen with the UFC. On Saturday, he competed at bantamweight for the first time in his career. He entered the UFC on ESPN 15 headliner with losses in three of his last four fights. He faced top contender Pedro Munhoz.
He won. And as he has been for the better part of the last decade, “The Answer” is once again in the mix for a crack at a UFC title.
