Frankie Edgar has once again undergone surgery.
The former UFC lightweight champion, two-time featherweight title challenger, and current bantamweight is on the mend after a microdiscectomy, which removes a portion of the intervertebral disc to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve column. Edgar discussed his recovery on his “Champ and The Tramp” podcast.
“So far, so good,” Edgar said (via MMA Junkie). “Obviously a little sore, but the reason I went there – it feels like it worked. I always push too hard, sometimes. … I feel really good. I want to do more.
