But in order to be the man, he’s gotta beat the man. Edgar is hoping to find “The Answer” to defeating Gray Maynard in the conclusion of their trilogy later this year.

An opponent he “barely got away from,” according to Guillard:

“I feel like a lot of the guys at the top of the heap were overrated. The UFC will promote them harder so they’ll get more of the attention … Me personally, I think Frankie Edgar is overrated. He beat B.J. Penn twice, I’ll give the guy credit where credit is due, but he barely got away from Gray Maynard. He’s the champ right now, but he’s not a finisher. To me, a lot of the guys who aren’t finishing fights are overrated. Nowadays you get a lot of bad judging, so who’s to say these guys really won some of these fights they say they won. I just feel overall that best 155’er and I’m content with that.”
