TN: If you had to pick right now, what would you be more afraid of your first loss or just losing in general?

FE: Uh losing in general man, you know you can’t really sit there and worry about the first one. You just have to worry about training for your fights and approaching your fights and trying to get the W’s. You know sometimes people say it’s inevitable but I’m trying to push it back as far as I can [laughs].

TN: When you’re fighting on a stacked card like the one that you are on April 2nd, do you ever actually watch the fights before yours? Or are you completely focused on your own fight?

FE: Yeah I’m pretty focused on my fight. I just stay in the back until my fight. You know you can’t really focus too well when you’re watching other fights. So I pretty much just hang out in the back and get mentally prepared and ready to go, after my fight I can relax and enjoy some of the other fights.

TN: What about the main event fight on your card, which is the Kenny Florian/Joe Lauzon match-up?

FE: It’s a toss-up. If I’m going to have to pick someone I guess I’ll go with Florian just cause of experience but Lauzon’s best bet is to get Florian on his back you know. Lauzon has pretty good top position so we’ll see if he can do that. If he can do that, that’s his best bet. If not, I mean I guess it’ll go Florian’s way a little easier.

TN: Who do you think wins between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard?

FE: Uh you know I gotta go with the kid from Jersey [laughs].

TN: Alright cool [laughs], any final things you want to say before we let you go?

FE: Nah, just don’t forget to tune in on April 2nd.

TN: One last thing Frankie, I need you to do us a favor on 5thRound.com. We got a bad streak that we want to break. We’re 0-2 when interviewing fighters before an upcoming fight. Is there anyway that you can break this streak for us?

FE: Hey I’ll do my best [laughs]. I’ll do my best.
