UFC on ESPN 15 features an important bout at the sharp end of the bantamweight division as Brazil’s Pedro Munhoz takes on former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in the night’s main event. Munhoz (18-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) is looking to bounce back to form after losing out on the scorecards to fellow contender Aljamain Sterling at UFC 238 last June. Prior to that defeat, “The Young Punisher” was riding a three-fight win streak, including a knockout win over former champion Cody Garbrandt in a wild slugfest at UFC 235. Now he’s set to face Edgar, who is looking to earn himself a shot at bantamweight gold and, potentially add his name to the short list of fighters to have captured UFC titles in two weight classes. Edgar (23-8-1 MMA, 17-8-1 UFC) will finally make his bantamweight debut after his initial booking against Cory Sandhagen, then three successive bookings to face Munhoz, fell by the wayside. Now the pair are finally set to face off in the main event on Saturday night at the UFC Apex.
