Frankie Edgar has an idea of who will win the upcoming UFC title-unification bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor, but he said he’s not waiting for the winner.

The former lightweight champion and featherweight contender, who’s been anxious to get his shot at the 145-pound title, said regardless of what happens with champ Aldo vs. interim titleholder McGregor – and regardless of when it finally takes place – he wants to take another bout before he’d meet the winner.

“I’ve got three kids, man,” Edgar, 33, told MMAjunkie this past weekend while at WSOF 22 in Las Vegas. “I’m trying to make some money. I’m not getting any younger. I want to challenge myself and keep improving. The best way to improve is to test yourself in the cage.”

Edgar (19-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) is ranked No. 3 in the NOS Energy Drink MMA featherweight rankings. Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC), who’s ranked No. 1, and No. 2-ranked McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) are a possibility for UFC 194 on Dec. 5, which could take place at the massive AT&T Stadium near Dallas, though the final date will depend on Aldo’s recovery from a rib injury.

That injury forced Aldo out of UFC 189 this past month, and fellow contender Chad Mendes eventually stepped in as a replacement to fight McGregor for an interim belt. The late-notice replacement suffered a second-round TKO loss, and McGregor is again scheduled to fight longtime champ Aldo.

So that leaves which 145-pounder, exactly, to fight Edgar in the mean time?

“I don’t know,” said Edgar, who’s 4-0 since moving down to 145 pounds and suffering a title loss to Aldo in 2013. “I’m going to leave that up to the UFC. I know a lot of guys aren’t really available, but I definitely do want to fight before the year’s out.”

Check out the above video as Edgar discusses his dilemma, predicts the outcome of Aldo vs. McGregor, talks about the possibility of moving down to 135 pounds, and even recounts that cageside confrontation with McGregor at UFC 189.
