Jolldan Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/frankie-edgar/report-frankie-edgar-vs-jeremy-stephens-interim-featherweight-title-fight-possible-for-ufc-226/ Yes, you read that headline correctly. In the wake of Max Holloway’s gut-wrenching removal from the UFC 226 co-main event, the UFC is reportedly considering tacking a last-minute interim featherweight title fight between Frankie Edgar and Jeremy Stephens onto the bill. This news comes from John Morgan of MMAjunkie. "No official word available at this late hour, unfortunately, but I’ve spoken with multiple people who have told me that with Holloway-Ortega off, @FrankieEdgar vs. Jeremy Stephens (@LiLHeathenMMA) is being considered for an interim title at #UFC226." — John Morgan (@MMAjunkieJohn) July 5, 2018 This is a rather strange possibility, as it was recently confirmed that Holloway’s planned opponent Brian Ortega will not be competing at UFC 226. If anyone was fighting for an interim title on the card, you’d think it would be him. He did, after all, knock Frankie Edgar out just a few months ago. What do you guys think? Do you see this happening? If so who wins? Edited July 5, 2018 by Jolldan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATSTER Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ughh... no thanks. Little Frank already beat Jeremy less than two years ago. Frank got sat down with some karate **** and then proceeded to run and spam takedowns aka not fight for 15 minutes to steal a "decision" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to see Little Frank do it for 25 minutes. I put up with that chit years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
