Honestly thinking about lifting instead of watching this fight. If there’s a KO I’ll definitely cry. #UFCVegas7

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

Raging bull @FrankieEdgar with round 2 ! #Boxing #Wrestling

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

Surprised Frankie is eating so many kicks… literally the best kick catcher I’ve ever trained with… #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
