Before Frankie Edgar takes on rising star Brian Ortega in the co-main event of UFC 222, take a look back at the quickest win of Edgar’s career against Chad Mendes in 2015.
Edgar, the former lightweight champion, has won seven of his last eight bouts. He sits at No. 2 in the 145-pound rankings. He was originally scheduled to take on champion Max Holloway at UFC 222 but a leg injury forced Holloway out of the bout.
Edgar now faces No. 3 ranked Ortega in a fight that will likely determine the next title challenger in the featherweight division.
