Frankie Edgar has been angling for a fight with Conor McGregor for some time, but so far, it hasn’t come to fruition. That being said, McGregor recently named Edgar as a potential opponent for his return to action.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho else is top of the list? Frankie Edgar is also up there on the list because he has similarities to Khabib,\u201d McGregor said of Edgar in an interview with ESPN. \u201cHe runs on the back foot and shoots on the single leg. I want these sort of similar bouts. And also, Frankie has been very respectful. He\u2019s always respectful. He said, \u2018I want to tell my his grandkids I fought Conor McGregor\u2019, one day.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me to hear that, ask Dana [White] \u2014 now this is going back many months now \u2014 I messaged Dana straight away and said, \u2018That\u2019s the fight to make\u2019. Even though he lost to Max [Holloway] in a very close bout, I don\u2019t care. Wins and losses don\u2019t matter in this game. It\u2019s the stories we are all on and the journeys we are all on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frankie Edgar quickly responded to this comment from Conor McGregor, assuring he’s interested<\/a> in this potential bout, despite his recent plans to move to bantamweight.<\/p>\n Speaking to TMZ more recently, Edgar divulged that he’d even be willing to meet McGregor in the welterweight division \u2014 a division he’s never fought in before.<\/p>\n
