Add UFC commentator Joe Rogan and retired fighter-turned-analyst Yves Edwards to the list of people who are somewhat uncomfortable with Frankie Edgar making such a quick turnaround after his knockout loss at UFC 222 this month.

Former UFC champion Edgar (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) suffered the first stoppage loss of his career against Brian Ortega at UFC 222. He’s scheduled to fight Cub Swanson (22-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in April’s UFC Fight Night 128 co-headliner a mere 49 days later, and the situation has raised some concerns about fighter safety.

Although Edgar insists he’s in good health – and even went out of his way to clarify that he’s still not taking head shots in sparring – there’s been an ongoing debate about whether “The Answer” should really be fighting Swanson. Rogan and Edwards touched on the subject during today’s edition of the “JRE MMA Show” podcast, and 21-fight UFC veteran Edwards explained his stance.

“I don’t like the fight,” Edwards said. “Frankie just got knocked out, and that’s really soon to come back. If anybody can bounce back from something like that, it’s a guy like Frankie, but I felt the same way about (Michael) Bisping fighting after – he didn’t get knocked out, he got dropped by Georges (St-Pierre) and then got choked unconscious — it’s like, ‘Yeah, you shouldn’t have taken that (Kelvin) Gastelum fight so soon.’ I feel that way about this fight.

“I feel like Frankie wants this fight so he can get that taste out of his mouth, but it’s still going to taste the same. Any time you go back and watch that fight you’re still going to have those feelings. You’re going to win your next fight more than likely. You’re Frankie Edgar. You don’t have to rush it. Let your brain rest and recover.”

UFC Fight Night 128 will take place April 21 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Edgar vs. Swanson co-headlines the FS1-televised card following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

In addition to looking to put the Ortega loss behind him, Edgar pushed to fight at UFC Fight Night 128 because the event takes place in his home state. Edgar hasn’t competed in New Jersey since a unanimous decision win over Spencer Fisher at UFC 78 in November 2007, and at 36, there may not be another opportunity before his career is over.

Nevertheless, Rogan said he agreed with Edwards that the fight is happening too soon.

“The problem is it’s in Atlantic City, and he’s from New Jersey, and all the boys are going to come down,” Rogan said. “I’m with you 100 percent. I would like to see this fight, but I would like to see this fight in six months. It’s a good fight.”

Despite complaints, it appears the Edgar vs. Swanson will go forward as planned. The bout marks a rematch of a contest from UFC Fight Night 57 in November 2014, which Edgar won handily by fifth-round submission.

The fact he’s already beaten Swanson may have played a role in Edgar’s choice to return to the octagon so soon. However, Rogan sent out a reminder that Swanson, who just signed a new deal with the UFC after testing free agency, is a dangerous opponent with a lot to prove.

“He fought Cub just a couple of years ago and just mauled him and got a last-second submission,” Rogan said. “Maybe he just thinks, ‘There’s not a (expletive) thing in the world this guy can do to stop me. I (expletive) him up before and I’ll (expletive) him up again. I’m not even going to get hit, I’m just going to get ahold of him and I’ll rag doll him just like I did before.’ But Cub Swanson can crack. He can crack. And he’s got a kid now, and he’s got a second kid along the way and he does not quit. That makes dudes hungry. That fight is probably a massive motivating factor for Cub Swanson.”
