Following UFC 222, a lot of the conversation surrounded the continued dominance of Cris “Cyborg” Justino, and the impressive victory of Brian Ortega. However, for the diehards, Saturday night signaled the on-coming end to a truly special career. For the fans that enjoyed the ride, a lightweight champion was crowned, a featherweight contender surfaced several times, and a legend was created. This unique career is far from over, but there is no better time than now to think back on it and say, thank you Frankie Edgar.
It had never happened before.
