Edgar ‘pissed’ about title shot run around
Frankie Edgar: “I do everything in stride, I really do think I’m a company man, but it’s not really panning out for me being that way.”
Frankie Edgar is on five-fight win streak and the definite fans choice to face Conor McGregor next for the featherweight title. However, Edgar still isn’t sure where he stands and what’s next, and it’s not making him happy:
For sure, I’m pissed,” he told Ariel Helwani. “I’ve been at it for a while now, I’ve been knocking on the door for this title shot for a while. It started with Cub [Swanson]. If Cub beat me he was promised a title shot. I beat him, I finished him in pretty dominating fashion and no, I’m not even considered for that title shot. I take it in stride. I do everything in stride, I really do think I’m a company man, but it’s not really panning out for me being that way.”
Asked if he was losing patience with being told one thing only to watch something else happen, he said he’s long past that.
“I’m there — I’m there already,” he said. “I’m not one to sit there and cry about it. People, my whole career say, ‘you’re too quiet, you need to say stuff,’ and the minute you say something it’s, ‘you’re f*cking crying.’ I mean come on, you just can’t win with these people. And you really can’t pay attention to them. The people I need to talk to are Dana and Lorenzo, and they seem like they’re not listening either.”
