Frankie Edgar is one of the top names in the UFC Featherweight Division. He almost became the Champion recently in his battle against Max Holloway, but he failed to do so.

After suffering that loss, he needs something that will help him get back to his former standing. Fighting someone as capable as Yair Rodriguez will help him to do exactly that if the two were to come face-to-face with each other.

Neither man is known for backing down, so the fight would be quite exciting as well, with a lot to gain for both fighters.


#1 Jeremy Stephens

Often there are some fights that happen, and the fans immediately know, that a rematch has to take place.

The same can be said for when a fight almost happens.

The fight between Jeremy Stephens and Yair Rodriguez was one that the fans were looking forward to for some time now. Given that the fight did not even take place, there is a chance that when they finally face each other, the two fighters will be able to put on a better display the next time.

It is also a fight that both men would want having mentally prepared themselves for so long to face each other.
