What could’ve been: 10 of the best booked UFC fights that never happened

Conor McGregor vs. Rafael dos Anjos, Nate Diaz vs. Dustin Poirer, Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson, and more make the list.

Frankie Edgar vs. Chan Sung Jung

Both [autotag]Frankie Edgar[/autotag] and [autotag]Chan Sung Jung[/autotag] have faced the who’s who in the featherweight division, but had never crossed paths until they were scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night 139 on Nov. 10, 2018.

Edgar, however, was forced out due to a torn bicep and was replaced by Yair Rodriguez, who went on to produce one of the greatest knockouts in UFC history with an upward elbow with one second remaining against the “Korean Zombie.” It was a fight Rodriguez was on his way to losing if it made it to the judges’ scorecards.

With Edgar now set to make his bantamweight debut vs. Cory Sandhagen on Jan. 25 in North Carolina, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see this matchup happen.
