In fact, after all these years, the 33-year-old former lightweight champion refuses to go pretty much anywhere but straight back to the front of the line in any division where he chooses to compete.
Edgar proved that yet again Saturday at UFC Fight Night 66, turning back a game challenge from former WEC titlist Urijah Faber en route to a unanimous decision win (50-45 x 3) in their featherweight fight.
The victory was Edgar’s fourth in a row at 145 pounds and should put him in the catbird seat, as we all await the outcome of Jose Aldo’s title defense against Conor McGregor at UFC 189 in July.
