Frankie Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) will now get his shot at the UFC Title again!
Frankie Edgar is coming off of two controversial decision losses against Ben Henderson. Many felt Edgar defeated Henderson at UFC 150. Edgar is very deserving of this opportunity and has a chance to win a UFC title in both weight classes. He would be the first since BJ Penn to achieve that historic feat.
Erik Koch (13-1, 2-0) withdrew from a planned UFC 153 title fight with current featherweight champion Jose Aldo (21-1, 3-0) due to an undisclosed injury. Edgar accepted the match.
UFC 153: Oct. 13 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The evening’s five-fight main card airs on pay-per-view.
“Obviously, we’ve had a rough couple of weeks here at the UFC, and then sure enough, I walk in to work today, and Erik Koch is hurt,” White told USA TODAY Sports. “But Frankie Edgar, being the stud and the warrior that he is, steps up and accepts this fight.”
