Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar made a victorious debut at 135 pounds as he edged out Brazilian contender Pedro Munhoz (some say controversially) in the main event of UFC Vegas 7 last weekend.
It means there’s yet another contender in the UFC’s absolutely stacked bantamweight division. But where does “The Answer” slot into things in the UFC’s 135-pound shark tank?
That’s just one of the questions we attempt to answer on this week’s episode of the show as we look back at an event that saw a host of rising prospects score eye-catching wins at the UFC Apex.
We also look ahead to this coming weekend’s UFC Vegas 8 card, as light heavyweight contenders Aleksandar Rakic and Anthony Smith prepare to throw down at 205 pounds.
Speaking of light heavyweights, we also discuss the strength of a weight class that was previously maligned for being the most boring in the UFC. With all of the recent happenings, it’s anything but boring now.
There’s even a little bit of pro wrestling chat for those who enjoy a little “soap opera in spandex.”
