God bless Frankie Edgar. Instead of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for his title shot against Max Holloway – which was probably what 99 percent of fighters would have done – the former lightweight champ is electing to stay on this Saturday’s UFC 222 card in Las Vegas. Not only is he denying his guaranteed title shot, but he’s meeting possibly the hottest fighter in the division, the undefeated Brian Ortega.
Cruising the messageboards, I have seen a great deal of fan love for Edgar for being a”real” fighter. It’s difficult not to agree, particularly when you’ve got men like Tyron Woodley who sat out for a year and a half to get his chance in the strap. Let’s not forget how much more a fighter stands to make not just in a title fight, but also in sponsorship opportunities as the champion. But Edgar has always been a rival, and in his words, he”was sick of not fighting”.
So we have got one of the branch’s most seasoned scrappers meeting among it is most reckless BJJ players. How should you wager this battle? Let’s take a peek at the UFC odds at BookMaker.eu, break the matchup and go over your best betting options.

Odds Analysis
Edgar opened as more than a 2-1 favorite, and his money line has hovered across the -200 into -215 range. Ortega can be located anywhere from +150 to +170. Oddsmakers are giving Edgar a whole lot of respect, despite Ortega stealing the show with a beastly win over Cub Swanson in his last outing.
I would expect a flood of late night stakes on Ortega, as his potential is too tantalizing to ignore. It is impossible to not believe you’re looking at a future winner when you watch him fight. Although Edgar is by far the very best opponent’s he’s faced,”The Answer” is also 36 plus a bit past his prime.
Matchup Analysis
There is an obvious size difference between the two. Although Edgar is a former lightweight, he’s a tiny enough 145er that there has been rumblings of him dropping down to bantamweight. By comparison, Ortega is a huge featherweight who must cut serious pounds to make the limit. Against Swanson, who’s by no means little, Ortega appeared like he had been in another weight class.
But Frankie’s made a career out of beating larger dudes. His skillset is extremely well-rounded, and it starts with elite footwork and wrestling. On the feet, Frankie is in perpetual motion, moving in and out, side to side, into range and slipping out while peppering opponents with head-body hitting combinations. The man wouldn’t be out of place inside a squared circle.
