Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar will make his bantamweight debut against #5 ranked Pedro Munhoz in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Munhoz vs Edgar on August 22.
Munhoz has dominated opponents in his 18 career wins, earning 13 victories by submission or knockout. He joined UFC in 2014 after earning the Resurrection Fighting Alliance bantamweight championship. Munhoz plans to rebound from a decision loss against Aljamain Sterling that snapped a three-match win streak in June 2019.
Edgar moved to the Bantamweight division after losing a Featherweight championship match to Max Holloway and suffering a first round knockout to Chang Sung Jung in a December 2019 match in South Korea. This will be the former champion's third division, and his 27th match for UFC.
The match between Edgar and Munhoz was originally scheduled to take place on July 15 but was delayed after Munhoz tested positive for COVID-19.
UFC had also planned a fight between #5 middlweight Yoel Romero and former Ultimate Fighter tournament runner-up Urijah Hall as the weekend's main event, but Romero withdrew from the fight due to an undisclosed injury. UFC president Dana White announced that Hall's next opponent will be MMA legend Anderson Silva in October.
UFC Fight Night: Munhoz vs Edgar will stream exclusively on ESPN+ starting at 6 p.m. ET on August 22. While UFC pay-per-view matches, like the upcoming UFC 252, normally cost $64.99, every UFC Fight Night event is available as part of a $6.99 monthly ESPN+ subscription.
UFC has committed to holding its events without fans due to the coronavirus pandemic and the organization has least 18 different safety precautions for staff, including advanced medical screenings, regular testing, temperature checks, and social distancing guidelines.
