One of the most durable and popular champions in UFC history got taken by surprise a couple weeks ago in Toronto.
Ex-lightweight champ Frankie Edgar thought he was just in Canada for a Q&A, but found out during the fights he’ll go into the UFC Hall of Fame as part of its 2024 class.
Edgar beat B.J. Penn at UFC 112 to win the 155-pound title. He beat him again in a rematch, had a pair of epic title fights with Gray Maynard, fought for belts at featherweight and bantamweight and is the only fighter in UFC history with more than eight hours of octagon time.
Simply put, “The Answer” is a legend. He retired in late 2022 and ended his career like many other eventual Hall of Famers – on a slump. But his career highlights were plentiful.
This week’s “Spinning Back Clique” of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn and Nolan King talk about Edgar’s upcoming induction and whom they think should go in alongside him with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
You can watch their discussion in the video above, and check out this week’s full episode below on YouTube.
