Frankie Edgar postponed his Bantamweight debut and took a short-notice fight against the “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung. As you probably know by now, it didn’t end well for The Answer. Korean Zombie took less than a round to finish Frankie Edgar brutally.
MMA Fighting caught up with Frankie Edgar and asked him whether he regretted taking the late-replacement fight against Korean Zombie. He claimed that he had no regrets:
Admitting to being a bit depressed and down on himself, he said that there was no choice but to move on. He was happy to give the Korean Zombie credit where it’s due:
He said that taking the fight on short notice stacked the odds up even more and that he believes the best chance for him to win his next fight is at 135 pounds. As for not regretting the UFC Busan fight, Edgar was likely more than adequately compensated for saving the card. It’s a well-known fact that fighters who save cards get paid well under the table and we hope for his sake that he was.
As for his 2020, we look forward to seeing him make his Bantamweight debut.
