Frankie Edgar - His last fight in the UFC
Frankie Edgar last fought
in the Octagon against Max Holloway where the former suffered a decision loss to Holloway in a gruelling stand-up war. In the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, he spoke about going back to the drawing board to regroup and claimed he has a lot more left in him.Before calling out Frankie Edgar, Conor McGregor was seen provoking Justin Gaethje, who had sent him a UFC ultimatum in September:
Dublin, December 14th.

Of all the call-outs and potential matches Conor McGregor has responded to or discussed, a battle against Frankie Edgar seemed the most unlikely given there was no heat between the two athletes, but if Edgar decides to take the fight, there is a possibility of seeing the fight happen.
