Edgar is excited about training with Makhachev together

Famed MMA fighter and former UFC champion Frankie Edgar shared his impressions of joint training sessions with the promotion's current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and his team.

"I spent time in the gym with these guys trying to gain useful knowledge. The training has been amazing, it's an incredible experience for me. Islam is just a beast, man. I won't tell you what goes on behind closed doors, but I saw him sparring with one guy. It was impressive. All the stories about Makhachev are true. Now it's time for his team. These guys are focused on results. Makhachev is a bit of a weirdo. I think he will hold the UFC championship belt for a long time," Edgar said.
