UFC 112’s Frankie Edgar keeps it cool going into 155-pound title shot

Nothing seems to faze UFC lightweight contender Frankie Edgar.

The 28-year-old Jersey Shore native is cool and collected where many
fighters his age and level of experience are seemingly wound too tight.
Hearing him talk about the biggest opportunity of his life, a shot at
the dominant champion B.J. Penn this Saturday at UFC 112, is just a step
above a PowerPoint presentation.

All the usual MMA platitudes are there: he’s well-prepared, he’s going
to impose his will, and no, he’s not overwhelmed by the pressure.
