The usually soft-spoken Frankie Edgar exploded on Twitter on Wednesday when he fielded questions from fans. Throughout his UFC tenure, Edgar has earned the respect of fans' with his hardworking, humble approach to mixed martial arts - letting his performances inside the Octagon do the talking.
After witnessing the promotional success of Conor McGregor over the last two years, it appears that Frankie Edgar may have taken a page out of the Irishman's book. 'The Answer' pulled back no punches on Wednesday when he vowed to 'slaughter' McGregor after the UFC 'milk the cow' dry.
