Back in the years 2013 – 2015, Conor McGregor at that time started his UFC career in Featherweight. It is like a chance of winning with the knock-outs quickly, right from that time Conor has been famous by many famous fighters in the Featherweight class, including former King Frankie Edgar.
However, after winning the featherweight championship belt, Conor McGregor flew up to the Lightweight class to fight without protecting the championship belt once.
Located among the fighters in Featherweight, who lost the chance of the radio with McGregor, the former Frankie Edgar champion could only sigh. It is noteworthy that in 2019, Conor McGregor himself actively suggested playing with Edgar, unfortunately this idea was soon dismissed by UFC Dana White.
Share with BJ Penn page, Edgar lamented:
“I am really sorry. Conor McGregor is a great name in this sport. Anyone who is comparable with him has a famous opportunity.”
After the recent defeat against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, it was surprising that the statistics still show that Conor McGregor received great attention from the martial arts fan community. Regarding McGregor's next match, Edgar predicts:
“I am sure McGregor wants to rematch with Dustin Poirier. Along with that is definitely a” huge “remuneration for Poirier if there is a rematch. But I do not think that McGregor will win in the match of Conor vs Poirier 3. Dustin Poirier is a talented martial artist, I have much expectation to continue to win.”
With the age of nearly over 40, Frankie Edgar's competition time is not much, so it will be difficult for Conor McGregor to be a reality. Anyway, former UFC Frankie Edgar King is having another opponent that needs more attention: he is about to return to the floor with a young boxer born in 1992, Cory Sandhagen at the UFC Vegas 18 event.
