Frankie Edgar grew up with a simple dream: Become a two-time state wrestling champion and get his picture put up in a restaurant in his hometown of Tom’s River, New Jersey. But after falling short of that dream and then falling short of a championship again in college, how did he go on to put together a Hall of Fame UFC career with wins over BJ Penn, Gray Maynard, Charles Oliveira, and Urijah Faber? How did the self-described "undersized overachiever" thrive at Lightweight when his natural weight class was 135 pounds? And what has he been up to since laying down the gloves in 2022? This is Becoming a Fighter with Megan Olivi.
