While it’s no secret that former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar wants a crack at Conor McGregor’s featherweight championship, there’s also another fight that intrigues Edgar.<\/p>\n

Back in 2013 after suffering back to back losses to Benson Henderson in title fights, Edgar dropped down to featherweight and was awarded an immediate title shot against Jose Aldo.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Edgar lost the fight via unanimous decision, however he remained at featherweight, going on a 5-fight win streak that most recently saw him KO former featherweight title challenger Chad Mendes.<\/a><\/p>\n

With UFC 200<\/a> rapidly approaching, Edgar is hoping for a fight against featherweight champion Conor McGregor, however he is also eager for a chance to avenge his loss to Jose Aldo.<\/p>\n

MMAMania<\/a> has the transcription of a recent interview with Edgar:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my fights I\u2019ve lost have been very, very close. There\u2019s never been a fight where I\u2019ve gotten blown out, or haven\u2019t been in. I mean, I could even argue, that I think I won that Aldo fight. I outstruck him rounds two, four and five. You know, took him down three times to none. It was a close fight; my first fight down at 145. I think I\u2019ve improved. I\u2019m not looking to fight Aldo yet, I want to fight McGregor for that 145-pound title, but I\u2019d love a chance to get some redemption at Aldo as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
