Ask the Fight Doc: Why are you opposed to Frankie Edgar fighting at featherweight?

Following his loss to Benson Henderson at UFC 144, now-ex UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar faces a tough decision: fight his way back to another title shot - or drop to featherweight for what could be an immediate shot at Jose Aldo's belt.

The general consensus, of course, is that Edgar is too small for lightweight anyway.

However, MMAjunkie.com medical columnist and consultant Dr. Johnny Benjamin thinks that's bunk; Edgar is only too small for lightweight because too many fighters are gaming the system.
