Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Frankie Edgar was ready to hijack UFC President Dana White’s airplane to campaign for a title shot after dominating Urijah Faber at UFC Fight Night 66. Unfortunately for the former lightweight champion, the path to the featherweight title has a few new twists and turns. Conor McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) was set to challenge for Jose Aldo ’s featherweight belt at this Saturday’s UFC 189 event. When Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) was forced out of the bout due to a rib injury it was Chad Mendes (17-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), not Edgar (19-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) that got called up for an interim title fight against McGregor. The decision was disappointing for Edgar , who is undefeated in four fights since losing to Aldo in his first bid for featherweight gold
