Frankie Edgar recently spoke to Ariel Helwani about what’s going on in the featherweight division and who he thinks is making the calls:
Before it was announced that McGregor would be moving up to face Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight belt at UFC 197, Edgar made one thing clear during an appearance on The MMA Hour: He believes the UFC is not only allowing McGregor to roam his hands over the control boards, but that they might be complicit in McGregor’s quest to avoid him.
“Yeah, from what I think, yeah, [McGregor]’s calling the shots,” Edgar told Ariel Helwani. “I don’t think it matters with Dana [White] and Lorenzo [Fertitta]. Really, I don’t think I’m the best fight that they want…I don’t think they want it either. So I’ve got all three of them against me.”
