Cody Garbrandt willing to step up, fight Frankie Edgar at UFC 222

Cody Garbrandt is so willing to fight at UFC 222, he’s even prepared to move up a weight class.

The scheduled pay-per-view, which doesn’t have a main event with less than four weeks to go, could be in jeopardy after Max Holloway was injured and withdrew from a featherweight title defense against Frankie Edgar.

Ex-lightweight champion Edgar, however, still wants to fight at the March 3 event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Brian Ortega reportedly being discussed as a possible replacement.

You apparently can add Garbrandt’s name to the mix, too, after the ex-bantamweight champion responded to a tweet from Edgar earlier today.

Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) and Garbrandt (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) share the same agent, Ali Abdelaziz, who was the target of “No Love’s” response.

This is Garbrandt’s second attempt to get on the card late. He previously pushed for a rematch against current 135-pound champion T.J. Dillashaw, who defeated “No Love” for the title in November. The UFC reached out to Dillashaw about the possibility of headlining UFC 222, but he declined and remained steadfast in his desire to challenge flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson this summer.
