Filed under: News , UFC DALLAS – So far, Frankie Edgar ’s dreams of winning belts in two divisions have been held up by Jose Aldo. Aldo, the current champ after the UFC stripped Conor McGregor of the belt, has twice kept Edgar from holding featherweight gold, first during his initial title reign and then for an interim strap put up in McGregor’s absence. But the third time could be the charm, according to Edgar (21-5-1 MMA, 15-5-1 UFC). The former lightweight champ can’t guess what the UFC is going to do, but thinks if he’s able to upset the red-hot Yair Rodriguez (10-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 211, he should get the chance.
