Frankie Edgar is unquestionably a future UFC Hall of Famer, but is he the current top contender in the featherweight division? It’s an interesting question. After all, Edgar (23-6-1 MMA, 17-6-1 UFC) is a former champion and one of the most respected athletes in the history of the sport. And perhaps most importantly, he had a title shot lined up against champ Max Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) one year ago but agreed to put the opportunity aside to face then-undefeated Brian Ortega at UFC 222 in a clash the promotion needed to help save that March 2018 event when “Blessed” was forced off the card. Edgar lost that fight, and Ortega went on to face Holloway. “The Answer” then rebounded with a decision win over Cub Swanson
