Edgar to headline UFC Japan?

Sources close to the fighter's camp confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that Edgar will likely appear in the main event on the card set to happen at Saitama Super Arena for the UFC's return card to Japan.



MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from multiple sources close to the promotion that the winner of the Guida vs. Henderson matchup is expected to receive an immediate title shot against current lightweight champ Frankie Edgar (14-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC).

With how poorly the Edgar/Maynard 3 card did on PPV, I'm sure it will main even the Japan show.

Whether it's Edgar/Guida or Edgar/Henderson, both fights would be awesome.

Then after Melendez beats Masvidal next month and makes the jump to the UFC in 2012...he can get the next shot later in the year.
