Just one week after overcoming an overwhelming opening round beatdown at the hands of Gray Maynard to knock him out in the fourth round at UFC 136, Frankie Edgar paid a visit to the New York Jets in advance of their Monday Night Football game against the Miami Dolphins tomorrow night (Oct. 17). Head Coach Rex Ryan, a noted MMA fan, asked Edgar to do the same last year and "The Answer" provided enough inspiration to help fuel a come-from-behind win against Houston. That eventually led to the team making the AFC Championship game. Will Edgar provide the same boost this year? Any Jets fans in the house feeling lucky?

Judges Cecil Peoples and Nelson Hamilton scored the first round a 10-9 while Doug Crosby scored it 10-8. Had the fight gone to decision it very well may have ended in controversy once again, but Edgar made sure to avoid as much by knocking Maynard out in the fourth round.
