With several qualified contenders vying for a crack at Jose Aldo’s featherweight crown, a loss to Urijah Faber in Saturday’s main event at UFC Fight Night 66 in Manilla would’ve been disastrous for Frankie Edgar.

But Edgar has never been one to crumble under the relentless, and often self-imposed pressure that’s associated with competing among the promotion’s elite. And even against a veteran opponent with Faber’s skill-set, Edgar was truly dominant during Saturday’s headliner, forcing the judges to hand the New Jersey-native a unanimous-decision victory.
