A New Jersey native and former UFC lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar enters the Octagon as one of UFC’s most prolific athletes. He will look to rebound following a loss to Max Holloway in a featherweight title bout at UFC 240. Chan Sung Jung, who is coming off an impressive first-round knockout victory against Renato Moicano in June, will look to deliver a strong performance in front of his home country fans.
The co-main will pit former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Volkan Oezdemir against rising contender Aleksandar Rakic. Oezdemir rebounded from a three-fight losing streak in August, delivering an impressive second-round “Performance of the Night” KO win over Illir Latifi. He will attempt to keep his momentum going by stopping Rakic, who is currently 4-0 in the UFC.
