Brian Ortega ’s surge up to the UFC featherweight rankings took its biggest step forward so far when he defeated former UFC champ Frankie Edgar in Saturday’s UFC 222 co-main event. Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) kept his perfect record in tact when he defeated Edgar (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) by first-round knockout in the pay-per-view co-headliner, which followed prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. With the win, “T-City” will almost certainly be next to challenge 145-pound champion Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC). Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Ortega’s victory over Edgar at UFC 222. * * * * Who is ready for a No. 1 contender bout?
