I cannot believe @FrankieEdgar is a 3-1 underdog . Has that ever been the case with him? He’s been in so many 5 round fights. Has Munhoz ever had a 5 rounder?@ufc #UFCVegas #ufc

This fight proves bantamweight is the best division in the @ufc right now. #ufcfightnight

Possibly 2-0 Edgar. But that leg is compromised. Munhoz jab looking good in RD 3. Those leg kicks are no joke when fighting Munhoz. #UFCVegas7

Strong Final round from Frankie but I believe Pedro did enough early with the leg kicks and power punches to give him the victory 48-47 #UFCVegas7
