Frankie Edgar: BKFC 82 Withdrawal, Fighter Warning

Here’s a summary of ⁢the article, focusing on the key points of edgar’s complaints against BKFC:

Frank Edgar is accusing BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) of potentially using him to⁢ sell tickets for BKFC 82⁢ and then deliberately preventing him from fighting.

Here’s a breakdown of his claims:

* Motivation Beyond Money: while he expected to be paid, Edgar states his primary desire was to fight after agreeing to the bout.
* Extensive Promotion: ⁢ He actively participated in numerous promotional events – watch parties, podcast interviews, appearances at sporting events – fulfilling all requests from ⁤BKFC.
* Suspicious Medical Request: BKFC asked him to get medical clearance in New York instead of new Jersey, which he believes was a ⁤tactic to find a doctor who would deem him unfit to‍ fight. He refused the New York appointment.
* Potential Financial motives: ⁢Edgar speculates BKFC may have removed him from the card to avoid paying⁣ his fee, possibly due to low ticket sales or a lost sponsorship.
*‍ Feeling Used: He feels “dogged” and believes BKFC took advantage of him, especially considering the event was in his home state.

In essence, Edgar feels he was⁢ exploited ‍for promotional purposes and then unfairly sidelined, leaving⁣ him frustrated and questioning the promotion’s ⁣integrity.
