Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar will officially move down to featherweight for his next fight in the Octagon.
According to a report from UFC Tonight on Tuesday, Edgar has decided to drop down to 145lbs and hopes to fight in December although no decision has been made as of yet who or when he will make his featherweight debut.
Over the past few years, Edgar has fielded more questions about dropping to featherweight than he probably has about his lightweight title. Now the New Jersey native will finally make the drop to 145lbs to see if he can find the same success at featherweight that he did at 155lbs.
UFC President Dana White was quoted earlier in the day on Tuesday as saying that ‘Frankie Edgar is probably gonna have to move down to 145,” in terms of earning another title shot right away.

Seems like a waste of talent to do that right off the bat, the loser dropping down the ladder pretty far. Why not give them a couple of warm up fights, good news reel potential fights and then go for the belt.

Neh, they won't do that- not with the limited number of contenders for Aldo right now. They're gonna get Frankie in there while his name's still hot. They might, however, give Frankie an easier fight than the Zombie, just to make sure he gets the W.

This is great!
Bravo to Edgar for shaking up the 145 div. I bet he was offered some great incentive to do so. In fact, financially, he may have made off from the Henderson loss.
