Steve Cofield talks to lightweight contender Frankie Edgar about the possibility of leapfrogging Maynard for a possible title shot against BJ Penn later this year in the video above. Personally, I don't see how that happens if Gray Maynard beats Nate Diaz tonight considering Maynard is undefeated and has already soundly defeated Edgar less than a year ago. This isn't another case where one fighter is way more popular than the other ala Faber/Brown in the WEC. Neither fighter is really THAT well known, Edgar has an advantage in the northeast but it's not a huge following per se in regards to turning into PPV buys. Maynard got more exposure on TUF and has actually fought in an main event against the popular Roger Huerta. What say you?
