Breaking News: Frankie Edgar (Pictured) is entering a UFC title fight and he’s the underdog. OK, so maybe that’s not groundbreaking information.
The former lightweight champ challenges reigning featherweight king Jose Aldo for his crown this Saturday at UFC 156. The scrap marks the most anticipated 145-pound affair in MMA history.
Edgar is pegged as a 2-to-1 long shot to dethrone the Brazilian. Aldo, meanwhile, checks in as nearly a 3-to-1 odds-on favorite to retain his title.
UFC 156 takes place inside Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
