Frankie Edgar Professional Career

Frankie Edgar’s combat sports journey began from wrestling from his alma mater at Toms River High School East in New Jersey, making it to the New Jersey state championship tournament on three occasions, placing second as a junior and fifth as a senior. Edgar continued wrestling at the Clarion University of Pennsylvania, where he qualified for the nationals all four years there.

Edgar then went on for pursuing an MMA career. After amassing a perfect 5-0 MMA record outside of the UFC, Edgar made it to the promotion by stepping up to fight their undefeated fighter in Tyson Griffin at UFC 67 back in 2007. Edgar made an impressive 3-fight winning streak before finally losing a decision to Gray Maynard. Edgar went on another 3 fight win streak that included a victory over the then former lightweight champion Sean Sherk.

With another impressive streak, Edgar gets to fight for the title against then- UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn. To everyone’s shock, Edgar pulled out an upset by dominating Penn who was then considered one of the pound-for-pound best fighters of UFC. Edgar made a statement again in his rematch with Penn, and also went on to settle his score with Gray Maynard in the trilogy with a knockout win, the rematch with Maynard is considered one of the greatest fights in the lightweight division.

Frankie Edgar, after 3 title defences, lost his belt to Benson Henderson and couldn’t get it back even in the rematch. With that, Edgar dropped down to compete at the UFC’s featherweight division to challenge the then- UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. Unfortunately, Aldo’s takedown defences kept the fight standing up where he is known for and hence Edgar lost via decision.

In the featherweight division, Edgar never lost hope and went on to defeat some veterans in Urijah Faber, Cub Swanson (twice) and then top contenders Chad Mendes and Yair Rodriguez. Edgar couldn’t get the title even after 2 more chances against Jose Aldo in a rematch and Max Holloway, losing to both via decision. In his fight with Brian Ortega, Frankie Edgar was finished for the first time in his fighting career that spanned 10+ years then, and that too via knockout.

Edgar made his bantamweight debut against Pedro Munhoz last year winning via split decision. Edgar is coming off a knockout loss to Cory Sandhagen and fighting again in his 34th professional bout at UFC 268 against Marlon Vera on November 6, 2021.
