Frankie Edgar is used to grueling five-round fights, but at Friday’s TUF 22 Finale the former UFC champ changed things up when he scored a first-round knockout of Chad Mendes.
Edgar (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC) connected with a clean left hand on Mendes’ (17-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) chin early in the first round and after one follow-up shot the end arrived. “The Answer” has earned five consecutive victories in the featherweight division, and it would be hard to deny him the next shot at the title.
