    Frankie Edgar

    Frankie Edgar grew up with a simple dream: Become a two-time state wrestling champion and get his picture put up in a restaurant in his hometown of Tom’s River, New Jersey. But after falling short of that dream and then falling short of a championship again in college, how did he go on to put together a Hall of Fame UFC career with wins over BJ Penn, Gray Maynard, Charles Oliveira, and Urijah Faber? How did the self-described "undersized overachiever" thrive at Lightweight when his natural weight class was 135 pounds? And what has he been up to since laying down the gloves in 2022?
