With a loss to Oliviera Edgar would extend his losing streak to 4, and his record will drop to 15-5 (MMA).  <\/p>\n<p>However as we all know, Edgar is one of the toughest fighters in the UFC and if anyone can defeat Oliviera (16-3 MMA) it&#8217;s Edgar.  Edgar is a great wrestler, and all 4 of Oliviera&#8217;s UFC wins have come by way of submission, which will make this fight extremely interesting if it ends up on the ground.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHe\u2019s tough.  He\u2019s dangerous.  Probably the tallest guy I may have ever fought.  He\u2019s got pretty good Muay Thai.  He mixes it up well with kicks, knees, elbows.  He\u2019s got a slick submission game. He\u2019s willing to go for broke to go for submissions,\u201d<\/em> said Edgar of Oliviera.<\/p>\n<p>Tune in to UFC 162 Silva vs. Weidman Saturday night at 9P.M. on PPV live from Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Evan Stoumbelis &#8211; @MMAEvan Frankie Edgar spoke to UFC.com recently on his upcoming fight with Charles Oliviera which will be the co-main event at UFC 162 Weidman vs. Silva. \u201cIt\u2019s a blessing in disguise, I feel like, coming back to a three-round fight.
