LAS VEGAS — Frankie Edgar proved Saturday that he ain’t done yet.
Fighting in the proper weight class for the first time against a man his own size in who knows how long — maybe junior high — the former lightweight champion made his bantamweight debut in style.
He survived a brutal battle with Pedro Munhoz, winning a split decision in his bantamweight debut. Judges had it 48-47 twice for Edgar and 49-46 for Munhoz. Yahoo Sports scored it 48-47 for Munhoz.
Win or lose, though, the bout proved that rumors of Edgar’s demise as an elite mixed martial artist had been greatly exaggerated.
