Easy, the same person he should have fought for his debut: Edgar is in a complicated spot promotionally. Well, Frankie won the fight because that’s what goes down in the record books, but no, I don’t believe he deserved it. He wasn’t, however, ready to determine his next opponent, although it wouldn’t be a shot at current champion Petr Yan.The shot at Yan’s bantamweight belt will go to Aljamain Sterling, said White.
Honestly, it’s fairly shocking that Edgar got his hand raised and the only reason I think it happened is the nostalgia factor.

Stipe might lay on you and pitter-pat his way to a decision but Jonny Bones ain’t gonna play those games. This is not one of those fights where Munhoz landed more damage but Edgar had the edge in volume; Munhoz landed 31 more punches and he did it while coming forward the entire time. Sterling has been patiently waiting for his title shot after five consecutive wins over the likes of Munhoz, Cory Sandhagen, Jimmie Rivera, Cody Stamman, and Brett Johns.White also confirmed that the UFC had recently booked lightweight contender Tony Ferguson’s next bout, following his loss to Justin Gaethje for the interim title at UFC 249, the promotion’s first fight following the nationwide shutdown.Hear everything Dana White had to say at the UFC on ESPN 15 Post-Fight press conference. How does he do it?Jon Jones the fighter is an interesting paradox of being vastly overrated at many things and underrated at many others. God love the man, but he’s not beating Cruz is “the greatest bantamweight of all time” according to the UFC and he’s coming off a failed title shot. Hellbows are coming.So, I suppose that’s how he wins, he closes the distances, trips Ngannou to the floor, and then elbows his face in. Or, if Stipe does win, well, Stipe has next to no chance. In the UFC Fight Night main event on Saturday, Frankie Edgar will make his debut at 135 pounds against Pedro Munhoz. He’s turning 39 in October and he’s competing at a weight class where fighters age like fast food french fries. At this point, I don’t think he can possibly win a title in any weight class, but that doesn’t detract from the incredible career he’s had and is still having.
He’s probably the best fighter ever, and more to the point, the light heavyweight division shouldn’t exist. Edgar now aims to continue that trend in the main event of the UFC Fight … Well, Frankie won the fight because that’s what goes down in the record books, but no, I don’t believe he deserved it. By: Mike Bohn and Abbey Subhan. Frankie Edgar is now the number 5 ranked bantamweight after he won a close decision on his 135 lb debut last week against Pedro Munhoz. And it’s not like Edgar is a renown power puncher who could at least try to George Foreman his old ass to a belt. I just don’t see how he does it. It’s why should’ve lost to Conversely, Jones is the best interior fighter in the sport’s history. Basically, he was Frankie Edgar for 25 minutes. Let me see your bracket.Well, I think there are simpler ways but I’ll do as requested:Realistically though, the real answer for clarity at 145 is already in front of us: the winner of If/when Ben Askren un retires who should he fight considering he’s probably only coming back for one fight?It’s a really tough call but I think there is only one name that makes sense.
If he doesn’t, somebody screwed up in a major, major way. The decision has caused some controversy among the MMA community and Munhoz, who believes he should have walked away with the victory.
Munhoz landed by far the more powerful strikes and his leg kicks had Frankie’s leg jacked up. Pedro Munhoz is confident he should have had his hand raised at UFC Vegas 7. Whoever holds the belt, he’d be running into a vastly superior athlete.
Does he immediately fight for the belt?Absolutely. https://sports.yahoo.com/dana-white-confirms-frankie-edgar-042102914.html
For instance, Jones and most fans believe he is a good out-fighter.
Jon is just a terrible matchup for him and Jon probably wins however he sees fit.The only way to clear up the 145 lb division is a one night 8 man tournament. Edgar, 38, is about to enter his third weight class as a pro when he makes the move from featherweight to bantamweight to face Pedro Munhoz in this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night main event. At 38, he clearly wants one more title run but the top of the division, which he now finds himself ensconced in, is basically all people that would beat him. There just aren’t any obvious candidates for him to fight. But did Frankie deserve to win? Anything above 185 pounds should just be declared heavyweight because those two divisions are paper thin and mostly terrible. Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar beat Munhoz in a tightly-contested split decision on the card's main event. Edgar would have to outwork the champ over 25 minutes, and good luck outworking Petr Yan.
