‘Sad to see’: Twitter reacts to Frankie Edgar’s brutal KO loss in UFC 281 retirement fight

Frankie Edgar’s final career fight went as badly as it could on Saturday when he was knocked out cold by Chris Gutierrez at UFC 281.

The former UFC lightweight champion Edgar (25-10-1 MMA, 19-10-1 UFC) was put out cold just over two minutes into the first round by Gutierrez (19-4-2 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) at Madison Square Garden, marking the final chapter of his octagon tenure.

Edgar is one of the most revered fighters in the sport’s history, and he was praised by the MMA community after the result.
