Frank Edgar is one of the most exciting up and coming lightweight fighters in all of mixed martial arts. Edgar burst onto the MMA scene seemingly out of nowhere and quickly racked up notable wins over rising lightweight star Tyson Griffin and widely respected veteran Spencer Fisher. Undefeated at 8-0, the former collegiate division I freestyle all-American wrester has solidified his place as a contender in the lightweight division.

Edgar recently took time off from training to sit down with Jason Perkins of FiveKnuckles.com to discuss a variety of topics. In part II of our conversation with Frank Edgar, he discusses Georges St. Pierre, his strengths and weaknesses as a fighter and his future in the sport.

FiveKnuckles.com: Have you spoken with UFC President Dana White regarding your future in the UFC?

Frank Edgar: No, to tell you the truth I haven’t. I’m just playing it by ear. They give me an opponent, I train for him and I fight, you know. That’s kind of how I like it. I don’t like to get too caught up in the future; you just want to take ‘em one fight at a time. You don’t want to get to ahead of yourself.

FiveKnuckles.com: Do you feel that your ready to take another step up in competition?

Frank Edgar: Oh, Absolutely. I’m ready for anybody at this point. I just want to keep getting better and to show that I’m getting better I guess I gotta fight better guys so I’m willing to fight whoever the UFC wants me to fight.

FiveKnuckles.com: If you had your choice who would you like to face next?

Frank Edgar: I get that question a lot and really I don’t care. Whoever they match me up with. I mean eventually I’m just gonna be saying I want the title so whatever leads me to the title in the future that’s the fight I want.

FiveKnuckles.com: Let's switch gears a bit. You said your a big mma fan. Who are your favorite fighters to watch?

Frank Edgar: It’s tough because I am a fight fan, you watch one guy for a little bit and you’re like ‘man that dudes nasty’. For me it varies a lot. I like what a lot of different guys bring to the table, you know, I like St. Pierre because he’s so well rounded, and of course Randy Couture. The guy’s just a class act. He’s like watching your Dad beat somebody up. He’s amazing.

FiveKnuckles.com: If you could, what attributes would you take from those two guys to add to your game?

Frank Edgar: As far as St. Pierre it’s his stand up; but more so his transition from his stand up to the ground because he’s got great takedowns. You know, you see him take down Matt Hughes and Koscheck and they’re high level wrestlers, and the way he transitions from his stand up to his take downs is something that I’d like to add to my game.

FiveKnuckles.com: GSP's wrestling is surprisingly good as he showed against Josh Koscheck. How do you think he'd do in pure wrestling matches?

Frank Edgar: I'd think he'd be good at it. To me it seems like if he puts his mind to something he gets it done. I know right now he works out with the Canadian Olympic team and supposedly he's in there taking those guys down so...
