NEW YORK – Frankie Edgar suffered a brutal knockout loss in his final MMA bout Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
In the eyes of many, Edgar’s career will land him in the Hall of Fame. But what is expected to be the final result on his record, will be a knockout loss at UFC 281.
Opponent Chris Gutierrez (19-3-2 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) kneed Edgar (24-11-1 MMA, 18-11-1 UFC) brutally in the head. The unconscious Edgar toppled over backward. His head hit the canvas and the bout was waved off at 2:03 of Round 1. It took Edgar a few minutes to regain his bearings, as an emotional Gutierrez tried to embrace the retiree.
