Could a UFC featherweight fight between Jeremy Stephens and Frankie Edgar be on the horizon?<\/p>\n

If ‘Lil Heathen’ had his way there would be. The hard hitting featherweight took to social media, as a lot of fighters do these days, and very respectfully issued a call out to top ranked 145er Frankie Edgar.<\/p>\n

Edgar has been vocal recently saying that he wants a fight in December instead of waiting for his title shot, which he’s been waiting for for quite a long time.<\/p>\n

Stephens is coming off of an impressive win over Dennis Bermudez at UFC 189, where he KO’d him with a flying knee\/punches.<\/p>\n

Edgar last fought Urijah Faber and won via unanimous decision. He’s on a four fight win streak over some of the best fighters in the division.<\/p>\n

Do you think this matchup would make sense?<\/p>\n
