UFC on ESPN: Munhoz vs. Edgar results and post-fight analysis
Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC UFC Vegas 7 could have been remembered as another card savaged by injuries and illness, only nine fights making it to the finish line. On paper, it looked bad. Frankie Edgar had the same number of fights as everyone else on the card sans his opponent, Pedro Munhoz. Name value wasn’t there, most fans didn’t care.
For those who did watch, it turned out to be a hell of a treat. There was the biggest upset in UFC history, at least according to certain betting odds. There were two comebacks that border on miraculous. Some may argue inconsistent refereeing played a part in those comebacks – and I’d agree with that sentiment – but let’s focus on the positive.
