Frankie Edgar has literally been doing everything possible to get himself a title shot lately.<\/p>\n

After Conor McGregor defeated Chad Mendes for the interim UFC featherweight championship back at UFC 189, Edgar climbed onto the cage to congratulate McGregor, and attempt to set up a fight.<\/p>\n

The night before UFC 194, Edgar knocked out Chad Mendes<\/a> to extend his winning streak to 5 and further his case for the next title shot.<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White said Edgar was next in line after Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo fought at UFC 194,<\/a> however he also stopped Edgar from going in the Octagon after McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo.<\/a><\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has also previously stated multiple times that he plans to move up to lightweight now that he has the featherweight championship.<\/p>\n

In an obvious move to attempt to get McGregor to stay at 145 for a title fight, Frankie Edgar is offering to fight him “anywhere” which is likely code for Ireland given how badly McGregor has been itching to do a Croke Park stadium show.<\/p>\n

The fans want @TheNotoriousMMA<\/a> v. Edgar. Give them what they want Conor. We could do it ANYWHERE! #PleaseDontGo<\/a> #Dontgoooooo<\/a><\/p>\n
