Frankie Edgar releases statement on UFC Busan loss: ‘Win like a man and lose like one too’

True to form, former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar was all class after his loss to Chan Sung Jung at UFC Busan.

Edgar praised Jung, thanked his fans and joked about his longer-than-usual hair in a statement following his first-round loss early Saturday in South Korea.

Well not what I had planned coming out here to South Korea, but win like a man and lose like one too. Hats off to the @KoreanZombie on a great performance. I think it may be time to cut this damn hair. Thank you to my family, team, and fans for the love and support.
