What better way to lead into tomorrow’s featherweight title unification bout between champion Jose Aldo and interim champ Conor McGregor at UFC 194 than a featherweight top contender scrap? At least, that’s what Frankie Edgar (pictured) is hoping.
Edgar has been heavily campaigning for another crack at the 145-pound crown, and he believes a win over Chad Mendes should solidify his top contender status. Whether or not UFC brass agree with Edgar is a different story.
Edgar is a narrow -130 odds-on favorite to hand Mendes his second straight loss. “Money,” meanwhile, checks in at Even money against the former lightweight champion.
