It’s been a while since he’s held UFC gold, but Frankie Edgar is showing he’s still among the best in the world.
At UFC Fight Night 57, Edgar cruised to a submission win over Cub Swanson in the fifth round. The victory gave Edgar three straight wins, putting him in position to campaign for a rematch with featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo.
Swanson carried six straight wins into Saturday, so the loss will be a significant setback for him. However, losing to Edgar was to be expected, so Swanson should be able to rebound.
With another UFC event in the books, here are the matchups that should be next for Edgar, Swanson and the rest of the UFC Fight Night 57 competitors.
