Frankie Edgar<\/a> and his team are definitely not happy hearing the reports that the UFC is working on putting together a rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor<\/a> as the main event of UFC 200.<\/p>\n

Edgar’s striking coach Mark Henry recently spoke with the Talking Brawls Extra Podcast<\/a> and shared his thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, first of all, it\u2019s expected,” Henry said. “I think Conor is straight out afraid of Frankie, you know, he won\u2019t fight Frankie, even off this last injury they called Nate before they called Frankie. You heard off Nate that they were calling him for two months about this fight just in case something happens. Even if Frankie\u2019s groin was ok, they were never going to give this fight to Frankie. It\u2019s typical non-torious, he just keeps running away from Frankie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henry goes on to say that the UFC has protected McGregor with not matching him up with any good wrestlers on a full camp and is simply blown away by the reports of the rematch with Diaz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable, I just don\u2019t understand the rematch. You\u2019re basically a 55er\u2019, you fought a 55er\u2019. The guy was drinking margaritas a week before and he got killed, it wasn\u2019t even close. The UFC always put a spin on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow his Mommy and Daddy give him a rematch, I guess Conor has to win. Conor lost to a guy with no camp. I guess we keep going until Conor gets his way. I just don\u2019t understand it. I don\u2019t really care less where Conor goes. Im just hoping he lets go of the belt, even his coach says he has a hard time making making 145. We\u2019ve seen him walk around looking like death on weigh-in day.\u201d<\/p>\n
