The No. 7 ranked bantamweight was expected to face Edgar on the UFC&#8217;s Fight Island on July 15. Unfortunately, he tested positive for the virus, leaving &#8220;The Answer&#8221; without an opponent for the upcoming event.<\/p>\n<p>However multiple fighters see the last-minute change as an opportunity to get their hands on the former UFC lightweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, Aljamain Sterling reacted to the news by seemingly offering to fight Edgar.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">Is Frankie in Abu Dhabi? &#x1f351;&#x1f4a6;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/funkmasterMMA\/status\/1280298874377318401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Time to pack &#x1f9f3; &#x2708;&#xfe0f;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/funkmasterMMA\/status\/1280333048630915072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is Frankie in Abu Dhabi?&#8221; Sterling said. &#8220;Time to pack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sterling&#8217;s willingness to fight is surprising given his current ranking status. Sterling sits at No. 1 in the bantamweight division and has seemingly earned a title shot, so a fight against the No. 7 ranked featherweight, Edgar, could jeopardize that.<\/p>\n<p>A more suitable matchup for Edgar might be Marlon Vera. Vera lost to Yadong Song earlier this year by a controversial unanimous decision. &#8220;Chito&#8221; is ready to bounce back and has already shown his willingness to step in as a last-minute replacement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019m here in shape corona free let\u2019s go<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chitoveraUFC\/status\/1280290736584310784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m here in shape corona free let\u2019s go,&#8221; he said on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ricky Simon is willing to step up and take on Edgar.

After suffering the devastating death of his 18-year old brother last month, Stamann put all his energy into the cage. It paid off, as he delivered one of his best performances at UFC 250 in June to defeat Brian Kelleher by unanimous decision. A fight against Edgar would be a quick turnaround for the 30-year old, but he believes he is fully prepared.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCUtrwOh7p7\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCUtrwOh7p7\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I fought on 2 weeks notice and had one of the best performances of my life.
