Chris Gutierrez soon gets the distinction of being the last name on an all-time great’s Ultimate Fighting Championship resume.
The 31-year-old bantamweight will face Frankie Edgar in a featured UFC 281 attraction on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Edgar, 41, plans to retire afterward. Gutierrez enters the Octagon undefeated (6-0-1) across his past seven outings. He last competed at UFC on ESPN 33, where he cut down Batgerel Danaa with a spinning backfist and follow-up elbows in the second round of their March 26 confrontation.
