Urijah Faber: 'Dead time' is what gave Frankie Edgar the win in Manila main event

All the judges had Frankie Edgar winning every round, but Urijah Faber surely didn't feel like he was blown out in the UFC Manila main event.

Faber told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that he felt Edgar was given the advantage on the cards due to "dead time" when he was attempting to grapple, but not necessarily doing it successfully, like up against the cage in a clinch.

"For me, that was dead time in there," Faber said. "And that's kind of the difference. Could I have done some takedown attempts and try to wrestle a little bit?
