Frankie Edgar will have the support of his home state of New Jersey when the Tom Rivers native takes on Spencer Fisher in Newark on November 17th. Fiveouncesofpain.com got some perspective from Edgar on what it is like for him to fight with his home crowd behind him. “Once you’re in the octagon, you kinda forget where you are”, commented Edgar on his focus during the interview. “I’ve fought in Vegas and I’ve fought in Sacramento, and I could have been fighting in my backyard. It’s the same thing. This next week might be a little different being home, being bothered a little bit. I try to turn my phone off and think about just taking care of business. So I’m trying not to get too caught up in it. One I step in there, I don’t think it’ll affect me at all.”

Edgar is putting his 7-0 record on the line against Fisher at UFC 78.
