Morning Report: Frankie Edgar could see himself taking two UFC belts off Conor McGregor in back-to-back fights

Frankie Edgar isn't having a great start to 2016.

Not only does he have to wait for his UFC featherweight title shot, he might have to fight a pissed off Jose Aldo in the meantime.

Edgar really won't have any clue as to his future until March 5 when lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos defends his title to featherweight champ Conor McGregor at UFC 197 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

McGregor looks to make history as the first fighter to simultaneously hold two titles for the promotion and Edgar is already licking his chops. Win or lost in March, McGregor will still need to make his way back down to Edgar, but showing up with two belts in hand makes it a much bigger fight for both men.
