Canelo Álvarez vs. Caleb Plant Live Updates, U.F.C. Results
U.F.C. 268
It was hard to follow up the explosiveness of the Gaethje-Chandler showdown, but contenders in two divisions kept the octagon busy in preparation for the co-main and main events.
Shane Burgos won via unanimous decision in a featherweight, beating Billy Quarantillo. The first round was relatively competitive, but Burgos found a groove and landed cleaner, more precise attacks in the later period, exerting visible damage on Quarantillo.
Marlon Vera defeated Frankie Edgar in the third round of a bantamweight bout, thrusting his leg with a front kick to Edgar’s jaw that knocked him out. Vera was the more dominant fighter throughout, landing clean shots, being more aggressive and controlling the octagon. Edgar is a fan favorite, and that base was quite loud. Edgar, 40, first fought in the U.F.C. in 2007. It’s the third time he’s been finished in his last four fights.
