Former UFC lightweight champion has had enough with getting screwed by the UFC. After coming off a dominant knockout of Chad Mendes, “The Answer” is looking to become the third fighter in UFC history to hold championship titles in two different weight classes.
Edgar recently did a short Q&A session via twitter and responded to a tweet that asked, “if u get screwed out of 145 title fight would u fight for 135 if Cruz pulls out?”
Edgar tweeted his answer emphatically and is looking to make a statement to fight only one man, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
I'm done getting screwed over my next fight will be Conor Mcgregor there is nobody else I am going to fight https://t.co/o2q4xgosrU

Another fan asked Edgar, “Hey Frankie. How would you feel if you had a rematch with Jose aldo for the interim feather weight belt?” Again, Edgar reiterated that he has just one fight in sight.
I want to fight for the real belt https://t.co/zeSS4O5dPv

Everybody know I'll make him break in the third and he'll quit in the 4th https://t.co/Kg8tA5FaRW

What do you think will unfold in the UFC featherweight division? Will Conor McGregor move up to lightweight to challenge for the 155-pound title, or will he defend the featherweight belt against Frankie Edgar? Share your thoughts in the comments!
