The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale will feature a headlining fight between two of the best featherweights in the world when former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar takes on Team Alpha Males’ Chad Mendes in a fight that should produce the next title challenger.<\/p>\n

The fight will go down just a day before UFC 194, where the 145 lb. king, Jose Aldo, will take on interim champ Conor McGregor to unify the belts and finally settle their feud.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the fights, oddsmakers have made Edgar the early betting favorite over the multiple-time title challenger Mendes.<\/p>\n

Here are the odds according to BestFightOdds.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Frankie Edgar: -154<\/p>\n

Chad Mendes: +144<\/p>\n

Edgar is currently riding a four fight win streak, most recently defeating Urijah Faber in a five round decision.<\/p>\n

Mendes on the other hand is coming off of a tough loss to McGregor at UFC 189, where he was stopped in the second round after taking the fight on only two weeks notice.<\/p>\n

Who do you guys have taking the win in this massive featherweight scrap?<\/p>\n
