The expectation was that he would be moving down to bantamweight to face Cory Sandhagen, but the injuries he sustained against The Korean Zombie ensured that wasn&#8217;t going to happen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>During a recent appearance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QtIa_UQ09Ko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>, Edgar provided fans with an update regarding his current status with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.<\/p>\r\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/QtIa_UQ09Ko<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;I always say I have three rules: as long as I&#8217;m enjoying it, as long as I&#8217;m competitive \u2014 I don&#8217;t wanna lose fights to guys I think I should be able to beat \u2014 and as long as my body holds up,&#8221; Edgar said.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;I actually only have one fight left on my contract now. It&#8217;ll be 13 years I&#8217;ve been in the UFC come February,&#8221; Edgar added.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201dMoney talks,\u201d he said. \u201cBut honestly, if I\u2019m being straight up, where do I want to finish my career? I do want to finish in the UFC. I got in the UFC (at) 5-0, and pretty much grew up here. It\u2019d be nice to finish, but everything has to make sense.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201dI don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be the biggest guy at 135, but I\u2019ll definitely be much more comparable to the rest of them,\u201d Edgar concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Edgar is well aware of the risks associated with continuing to fight beyond his prime, and given how much he&#8217;s already achieved, you&#8217;d think that he&#8217;d be happy to just ride off into the sunset. Alas, his desire and passion for the sport keeps him going \u2014 and it&#8217;ll be interesting to see just how many waves he can make in a new, lighter division.<\/p>\r\n<p>What do you think the future holds for Frankie Edgar?<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/30\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC veteran and former champion Frankie Edgar has revealed that he has just one fight remaining on his current UFC contract.
