“It Was a Great Stoppage” – Dana White Says Frankie Edgar Is Wrong

UFC 268 had banger fights lined up and impressed MMA fans all over the globe. All the fighters gave their absolute best. But it is a highly competitive sport and some win while others have to lose. Thus, many fighters went back dejected about their loss. 

One such fighter is Frankie Edgar. Edgar had to face a loss at the hands of Marlon Vera. The bantamweight fighter was left glum because of the fight stoppage.

Vera landed a powerful front kick on Edgar’s jaw in their final round and won through TKO. Edgar, who was down on the ground, was not happy about how their fight ended. He seemed to disagree with the referee’s decision to stop the fight. 

Dana White, however, has a different take on the incident.
