Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight kingpin Frankie Edgar has a huge fight ahead of him this weekend (Sat., May 16, 2015) when he takes on former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) featherweight champ Urijah Faber in a 145-pound super fight in the main event of UFC Fight Night 66 in Pasay, Philippines, but that won't stop "The Answer" from discussing the upcoming UFC 189 title fight between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.

After manhandling Cub Swanson in his last bout, Edgar hoped he had done enough to earn a UFC title shot and rematch against the champ, but he does understand UFC brass' business decision to give Conor McGregor a swipe at UFC gold next.

Speaking with the Daily Star, the 145-pound machine warned the Irishman that he has no idea what is about to hit him.

Edgar's words:

"Conor has never met anyone as strong as Aldo. I'm going to go with the champ in this one. But good look to McGregor. He got the fight. He's beaten people in devastating fashion and he's got this fight and that's all that matters. Whether he deserves it or not, that's in the past. He has it on July 11. It's what he does with it that counts. I want the belt. Aldo has beaten me before and I'd like to be the one to take the belt from him."

Frankie Edgar sure knows how to stir the pot...!

Needless to say, if Edgar wins his fourth straight fight this weekend by taking out "The California Kid," he will be taking on the winner of the July 11 title fight set to go down in Las Vegas.

The former lightweight champ expects Jose Aldo to retain his title, but with "The Notorious" one backing up his talk consistently over the last two years, it is becoming harder and harder to choose an outright winner.

Anyone agree with Edgar's assessment, or will he be facing off against McGregor later on in 2015?
