Featherweight contenders Frankie Edgar and Cub Swanson Squared off once again tonight (Sat., April 21, 2018) from inside the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. They previously met in 2014 where Edgar beat Swanson, which snapped his six-fight win streak.
Frankie Edgar was questioned for making a quick turnaround from his first career knockout loss against Brian Ortega at UFC 222, but he rebounded strongly by scoring a unanimous decision win over Cub Swanson at UFC Atlantic City.
Edgar won for the third time in his past four fights and the eighth in his past 10. Swanson dropped to 25-9 with his second straight defeat.
