Regardless of what happened Saturday at UFC 281 in New York, Frankie Edgar would’ve gone down as a legend in history, but a knockout loss in his final MMA fight is a tough pill to swallow.
Edgar, who was brutally finished with a knee by Chris Gutierrez early in their main card bout, gave a brief post-fight interview in the cage but was not medically cleared to speak to reporters after the event.
Tuesday, Edgar discussed his loss in-depth for the first time on his podcast The Champ & The Tramp. Clearly emotionally distressed by the loss, Edgar tried to put into words the mix of emotions he feels days later.
