There’s a fantastic lightweight match-up brewing between Frank Edgar (10-1) and Kurt Pellegrino (14-4) targeted for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale scheduled for the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on Dec. 5.


The news was first reported by ESPN’s “MMA Live” host Jon Anik and MMAmania.com has since confirmed that bout agreements were distributed but are yet to be signed.
“The Answer” rebounded from the first professional loss of his career to Gray Maynard (unanimous decision) at UFC Fight Night 13 to outpoint former number one contender Hermes Franca on all three judges scorecards at UFC Fight Night 14: “Silva vs. Irvin” in July 2008.
The latter bout also earned “Fight of the Night” honors, but was water under the bridge after Edgar defeated former lightweight champion Sean Sherk at UFC 98: “Evans vs. Machida” on May 23 for what was undoubtedly the biggest win of his career.
Edgar recently earned a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu while training at Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu in Hamilton, N.J., under Ricardo Almeida — the star pupil of Renzo Gracie. He is a decorated high school (Toms River High School East) and collegiate (Clarion University) wrestler out of Toms River, N.J., who also moonlights as an assistant wrestling coach at Rutgers University.
It’s going to take every ounce of that talent for Edgar to get past the crafty Pellegrino.
