the american Frankie Edgar showed all his talent at UFC Fight Night 57, an event held in the early hours of Sunday (23), in Texas. Facing Cub Swason, number two in the ranking of featherweight challengers, the former lightweight champion shone in the lower category and demanded the chance to face the Brazilian again. José Aldo by the belt.

“Based on the performance I had tonight and what I’ve done in my career, I should be the next challenger for the belt. José Aldo. It should definitely be me. I’m here to stay, I’m not an easy fight for anyone,” she said.

Despite the excellent victory, Edgar may have to wait a little longer for the chance to unveil José Aldo, since franchise president Dana White's favorite is Irish Conor McGregor.

“I wouldn’t be upset (if McGregor had the chance sooner), but disappointed. I'm not going to play a crybaby here, but it would be a huge disappointment. Conor has never faced an elite wrestler, but I can't say he's not doing what he has to do with his opponents. I'm not the one who decides who will fight. I just think I deserve the rematch with Aldo,” he added.
