The UFC announced a major fight on UFC Tonight, setting Frankie Edgar up to take on Cub Swanson at featherweight at UFC Fight Night on November 22 from Austin, Texas.
Edgar is coming off a one-sided drubbing of an old and overmatched BJ Penn while Swanson is riding a six fight win streak, most recently beating Jeremy Stephens. It would seem that the winner of the fight is set up for a title shot, though both fighters have picked up losses to Jose Aldo in the past.

In that bout it will be Bobby Green taking on Edson Barboza.
