Show Notes

YOUR true calling might be a completely different path than you originally thought...

That was the case for @frankieedgar.

Frankie was a great wrestler in high school and went on to wrestle in college, qualifying for nationals all four years.

However, there were some goals that he wasn’t able to fulfill inside of his wrestling career… so rather than hang it up, he made the commitment to move into MMA early on with only a few weeks of training!

Edgar became the UFC Lightweight Champion at UFC 112 when he beat BJ Penn by unanimous decision. To this day, no fighter has spent more time in the Octagon than Frankie, with just under 6.5 hours!

Frankie has made such an incredible impact on the UFC but also in his local community. 

Thank YOU Frankie for taking the time to tell YOUR story and for setting such an incredible example of what it looks like to be a strong competitor and a father.
