Frankie Edgar’s bantamweight debut has been officially set for the 23rd of August, this will be the fourth and hopefully last time the proposed bout against Pedro Munhoz has been moved.
Confirmed earlier this month, Edgar vs Munhoz will headline the UFC Fight Night 175, with Romer vs Hill as a co-main.
Pedro Munhoz will be looking for a trip back to the win column after suffering a unanimous decision loss to Aljamain Sterling in June 2019. The Brazilian has gone 7-2 in his last nine fights inside the octagon, including a first round KO win over former champion, Cody Garbrandt.
Frankie Edgar similarly will want to end a poor run of form having lost his last two outings and three of his four. Most recently, Edgar recorded a loss to Chan Sung Jung, via first round TKO, bringing an end to his stint at featherweight which included a failed attempt at taking the title from Max Holloway.
The scheduled bout for July 15 on Fight Island was postponed, after Munhoz tested positive for Covid-19, but back to full health, the bout is set to go ahead and the two will face off.
