Frankie Edgar

"The Answer". That's what they call Frankie Edgar, and is part of the UFC bantamweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 35 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

A balanced operator — 6 wins by KO, 4 by submission, 13 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem.

He's coming off a loss to Chris Gutierrez. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 44, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
