It was the fight Frankie Edgar so dearly wanted<\/a>, but his dreams were shattered as news broke that Conor McGregor would be going up from the featherweight division to fight Rafael dos Anjos<\/a> for the lightweight title in March.<\/p>\n

Edgar’s coach Mark Henry posted a “congratulations” to McGregor on his decision, and added in some nice jabs along the way. Henry captioned his post, “@thenotoriousmma and @coach_kavanagh unlike most of the 145 pd division that is upset you’re going up I’m not. I want to congratulate you on actually fighting men your own size. I mean walking 175-180 fighting at 155 takes a brave man. When you say 99 % of people couldn’t make the weight cut Conner makes to 145 your right, because 99 % of the fighters aren’t as scared as Conner to have to drop that much weight. Fear could will a man to do amazing things. Now why don’t you drop the security blanket and leave the 145 pd belt and go full blown BIG BOY. Congratulations again……. Almost. PS @frankieedgar walked 156 when he won 155 title.”<\/p>\n
