Frank Edgar, regarded as one of the most promising up-and-comers in the UFC lightweight division, announced that he will be training in his birth state (New Jersey), in the recently inaugurated academy of Ricardo “Cachorrao” Almeida. Edgar, who was undefeated in MMA, having defeated such names as Tyson Griffin, Mark Bocek and Spencer Fisher, met defeat for the first time at UFN 13, against rookie and still undefeated Grey Maynard by unanimous decision.
He will now try to incorporate into his game the refined Jiu-Jitsu of the Renzo Gracie black belt and return to his winning ways. Another MMA fighter to join Cachorrao was Chris Liguori, who is on the next EliteXC card, to be broadcast on CBS live in the United States.
