Brian Ortega emerged as the sole contender for Max Holloway’s Featherweight title at UFC 222.
How could something that was completely inconceivable just 12 months ago happen? Well, it happened quite brutally actually. How brutally, you ask?
To answer that question, I present a small collection of photos of Frankie Edgar at UFC222. I believe they perfectly illustrate just how bad a night it was for the Legend of Tom’s River.

That Brian Ortega is a bad motherfucker. He stole Frankie Edgar’s title shot and possibly his soul.
