UFC 222 video highlights: Brian Ortega vs. Frankie Edgar

Brian Ortega stayed patient in the first round against Frankie Edgar, then became the first to finish the veteran. And he did so with authority.

Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) knocked out Edgar (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) with a massive knockout from a right uppercut with 16 seconds left in the first round. Edgar had just five career losses coming into the fight, all by decision.

The featherweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC 222 show at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
