Frankie Edgar celebrates his win over Pedro Munhoz in his bantamweight debut in 2020.Back in July, former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar reportedly requested his final UFC fight. Speaking through his manager Ali Abdelaziz, “The Answer” wants his swan song to happen at UFC 281 on November 12 at Madison Square Garden.
On Thursday, ESPN’s Brett Okamoto confirmed these plans. As he noted in his recent tweet, Edgar will face bantamweight veteran Chris Gutierrez for his final bout, “unless someone gets lippy in Seaside next summer.”
