After a long wait, the UFC finally comes to the Philippines, and it brings one of the best main events of the year for UFC Fight Night 66.
No. 2-ranked featherweight contender Frankie Edgar takes on No. 3-ranked bantamweight Urijah Faber in a five-round affair.
This marks Faber’s return to featherweight after nearly a five-year absence from the division. Since that time, he has been in the title hunt at 135 pounds but has failed to capture gold. Faber, a former WEC featherweight champion, gets another big bout with this matchup.
Edgar is on the cusp of another shot at UFC gold. He is currently on a three-fight win streak, and the former UFC lightweight champion has looked stellar in recent outings. This fight has all the makings to be a Fight of the Year contender.
Enough beating around the bush. Here is your breakdown for this weekend’s astounding main event.
