Despite a pair of disappointing losses to current UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson, former titleholder Frankie Edgar will now get his shot at history.USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com have learned that an undisclosed injury has forced Erik Koch to withdraw from a planned UFC 153 title fight with current featherweight champion Jose Aldo, and Edgar has agreed to step into the evening's main event.
Edgar now looks to join UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture and Hawaiian superstar B.J. Penn as the only men to hold UFC championships in two different weight classes.
