Following Max Holloway’s UFC 212 win over Jose Aldo<\/a> earlier this month, all signs pointed to Max Holloway making his first featherweight title defense against Frankie Edgar. The interest in the fight was mutual, as Holloway proclaimed at the UFC 212 post-fight press conference that he would like to add another former champion to his record.<\/p>\n

With that being said, Cub Swanson is also looking to secure a featherweight title fight. Swanson made his case for a title shot by explaining that he’s never had a title shot in the UFC, while Edgar has had numerous title shots. Swanson went on to explain that in the midst of a 3-fight win streak<\/a>, the time for his title shot is now.<\/p>\n

\"Cub<\/p>\n

Frankie Edgar spoke to Fox Sports<\/a> this week to once again shoot down Swanson’s campaign:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just no other options that are anywhere near viable,\u201d Edgar told FOX Sports via the Fight Society podcast. \u201cI\u2019ve done everything. I\u2019ve been fighting the best guys time and time again and getting the results that I need. Besides the fights with Aldo, that\u2019s it. I pretty much beat everybody. [Max] pretty much beat everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s figure it out. It\u2019s down to us two and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst off, I beat Cub pretty soundly not too long ago and then right after that Max beat him pretty soundly. I don\u2019t want to talk junk but I\u2019ll just put facts,\u201d Edgar explained. \u201cHe lost to me, he lost to Max and then he beat guys that aren\u2019t even in the top 20 when you compare that to what I\u2019ve done. Since I fought Cub, I\u2019ve beaten [Chad] Mendes, Urijah [Faber], Jeremy Stephens, Yair [Rodriguez] and I had that one loss to Aldo.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got a pretty bad loss to Max and then he\u2019s beaten some guys that I don\u2019t know their names.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
