Frankie Edgar's upcoming task at UFC 205 just got much more difficult.
As if he didn't already hit hard enough, Edgar's opponent Jeremy Stephens is now training with resistance bands to enhance his speed and well-documented knockout power. The longtime UFC featherweight - who makes his camp with the likes of 135-pound king Dominick Cruz at San Diego's Alliance MMA - boasts 16 knockouts in 25 pro victories.
The pair are expected to headline the event's prelims on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
