Though he may not have headlined the card, Brian Ortega and his spectacular performance over Frankie Edgar was the biggest story coming out of UFC 222.
Ortega knocked out Edgar with a stunning first-round sequence on Saturday night in Las Vegas to seize the next title shot against UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway. In the process, he became the first man in 13 years to finish Edgar, doing so in extraordinarily violent fashion with less than 20 seconds left in the opening round.
And for Ortega, the key to a star-making victory was simple: patience.
