Frankie Edgar is not going to be happy. Again.
The natural fit to face Conor McGregor, as the Irishman moves back down to featherweight later this year, looks set to be denied again in his ambition to fight the UFC champion.
McGregor’s next fight inside the octagon is likely to be a title defence at 145, but his coach wants a familiar foe to oppose the 27-year-old next time out.
Speaking on the MMA hour on Monday evening, John Kavanagh is hopeful that Jose Aldo will be the next man to face the SBG fighter.
“I’m not too sure, there’re a few offers there, that’s really for him to decide. Let’s see what the fans want. Me personally, maybe Aldo rematch. I’d like to see that again.
“I just think the first one, it was great for us, but it was a little bit unfulfilling, a little bit.
“Aldo has a fantastic set of skills, and he was a great champion and we didn’t quite close the chapter on that one to see a proper fight. Stylistically it would be nice to watch, and it would be a great challenge.”
“Or Frankie (Edgar) that would be a good fight too.”
