UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar can be called many things. A remarkable fighter, the best 155lber in the world, and now he can add motivational speaker to his list of accolades.
On the eve of the New York Jets latest game against the Houston Texans, head coach Rex Ryan brought Edgar in to speak to his team as they prepared in the final moments before the game was at hand.
Edgar spoke to the Jets about mental toughness and relayed a story back to the squad about his famous 2007 win over Tyson Griffin in which he had to battle out of a last minute submission attempt by his opponent to secure the win.
The speech apparently paid off rather remarkably as the Jets were down to the Texans with just minutes to go in their game when quarterback Mark Sanchez led his team down the field and scored the winning touchdown with only :10 seconds remaining on the clock.
