Frankie Edgar Thinks Jose Aldo is Delusional

– Frankie Edgar recently spoke with mmajunkie.com, here are the highlights…

On Aldo Being Delusional: “I think he’s a little delusional is what I think. I think he’s trying to talk himself up. After a devastating loss like that, I know his confidence can’t be too high, and sometimes, they say, you keep telling yourself these affirmations, and it comes true. “I think he’s trying to do that, but it doesn’t work. Talking’s not enough – you’ve got to show up and perform. We’re going to find out July 9 if he can back his talk up.”

On The Status of The Featherweight Title:“I think this is for the real belt,” Edgar said. “I don’t think Conor’s coming back down (to featherweight). There’s a lot more to lose at 145 than anywhere else.”

On a Possible Fight With Conor McGregor: “He comes with the big paycheck,” Edgar said. “He’s the most popular guy in the UFC, he’s going to talk it up more than anyone else, and that’s a fight I know I can win.”
