Morning Report: Frankie Edgar calls Conor McGregor 'top notch,' but says there are still 'unknowns'

Set to face perennial contender Urijah Faber Saturday in Manila, former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar is already looking forward to another shot at the featherweight strap.

"I do believe if I take care of business on May 16 that I'm the guy that will fight the winner of [Jose] Aldo and [Conor] McGregor," says Edgar.

Edgar scored a bruising, fifth-round submission win over Cub Swanson Nov. 22 in Austin, Texas, but McGregor will challenge featherweight champion Jose Aldo Jul. 11 at UFC 189 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
