Frankie Edgar addresses his UFC 200 loss to Jose Aldo

Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar suffered a unanimous decision loss to Jose Aldo at UFC 200 over the weekend in a fight that crowned Aldo with the UFC interim featherweight title.

Edgar, who was coming off a hot five-fight win streak suffered his last loss to Aldo back in 2013.

Edgar was confident going into the rematch with Aldo hoping to pick up the interim title and face UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor to unify the belts. The fight didn’t go in Edgar’s favor and on Monday, “The Answer” made his first post to social media since losing the rematch with Aldo.

Edgar said in his post, “I pour my heart and soul into every fight and it’s preparation and I’ll continue to do so. I wanna thank my coaches for always having me 100% prepared and always completely ready for battle. I want to thank my wife and family for loving me unconditionally. I want to thank my friends and teammates for always having my back. And I want to thank the fans for all their support. Till next time.”
