With the way I\u2019m training, I\u2019m already less than 10 pounds over, so we\u2019re really not going to try that hard. I don\u2019t think it will be an issue at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aldo\u2019s talked about knocking you out and then moving up in weight to win another title. What did you think of those comments?<\/strong> Everyone\u2019s got to motivate themselves in their own way. He hasn\u2019t fought in a year, so I think maybe he forgets how it is to be in there and needs to motivate himself. But he\u2019s got something coming if he thinks this is going to be an easy fight.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWhat challenges does Aldo present?<\/strong> He\u2019s a great striker, fast and explosive. He\u2019s got great knees and great kicks. He might be the most dynamic striker we have in the sport, right there next to Anderson Silva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview with Las Vegas Weekly, former UFC lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar answered a few key questions about his upcoming opponent, Jose Aldo.
