Edgar (22-7-1) withdrew from a bantamweight fight against Cory Sandhagen that was scheduled for January of next year to fight Chan Sung Jung at UFC Busan, after Jung’s original opponent Brian Ortega pulled out of the fight with a knee injury. Talking recently to MMA Fighting, Edgar spoke about still wanting to drop down to bantamweight in the future.
