UFC lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar has been speaking about the closure he’s so desperately seeking ahead of his third outing with the only man to have beaten him during the course of his mixed martial arts career, Gray Maynard.Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Edgar said:
“There’s definitely been talks about it. I’m not sure that’s 100 percent. I haven’t signed anything, but I guess Dana talked about it, so it’s probably set in stone. I’m super excited, I can’t wait to get back in there to be honest with you. Just to get some closure. You get to have a fight like that and no one ends up the winner, it kind of sucks, but I’m glad I get another crack at it.”
“I plan on turning it up even more from here. As far as improving as a fighter, it’s my main objective. I’m not only looking at Gray as the main thing, I just want to get better. So after Gray, whoever it may be, I’m prepared for that guy. I’ve got a tough challenge ahead of me, but the last fight with B.J., I was able to step it up, and hopefully I’ll be able to do it again.”
The two men went at it for five rounds at UFC 125 back on January 1st and after a shaky start to the fight for Edgar the judges scored it a draw. After losing the first time out against “The Bully” and drawing the second, Edgar would no doubt like a win to cement his position as the number one fighter at 155 pounds.
