UFC Fight Night ‘Edgar vs. Faber’ Notebook: Chasing History

Frankie Edgar has history in his crosshairs.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder will meet Urijah Faber in the UFC Fight Night “Edgar vs. Faber” main event on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Philippines. A win there, particularly a convincing one, could leave Edgar as the No. 1 contender in the featherweight division and afford him a second opportunity to challenge for promotional gold at 145 pounds. Only two men, B.J. Penn and Randy Couture, have won titles in two UFC weight classes.
