One of the dangers of accepting late replacement fights is that a loss looks like a loss in the scrolling Wikipedia sense. Yet Frankie Edgar’s loss against Brian Ortega back at UFC 222 could easily support an asterisk. He was supposed to fight Max Holloway in Las Vegas, and — when Holloway went down with an injury — opted to stay on the card and face the next best comer. That happened to be the young gun Ortega.
Edgar lost the bout via fight-round knockout, but helped save an event.
