At <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-updated-ufc-200-promo-with-brock-lesnar-mark-hunt\/\">UFC 200<\/a>, Edgar will look to add former featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo&#8217;s name to that list.<\/p>\n<p>The fight will be a rematch for Edgar, who lost to Aldo in 2013 at UFC 156. Since then Edgar has gone on a tear, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/replay-frankie-edgar-knocks-out-chad-mendes\/\">winning 5 fights in a row<\/a>.
