Frankie Edgar lost his UFC lightweight title over the weekend, dropping a controversial decision to Ben Henderson in the UFC 144 main event.
Certainly the idea of a rematch is a significant option for the UFC, but there is also another direction Edgar’s career could take. – a move to 145lbs.
If Edgar did drop down he could potentially walk straight into a title match against reigning featherweight champion Aldo.
However, Nova Uniao head coach Andre Pederneiras knows Aldo better than anyone, which means he knows how to beat the brilliant Brazilian.
“The biggest advantage that Edgar has he would lose at 66kg, that is his speed,” Pederneiras wrote on Twitter. “Aldo keeps the belt.”
