UFC legend Frankie Edgar can't go out like this, but maybe he should.
The 40-year-old was unrecognisable after being knocked out by a kick from hell during his loss to Marlon "Chito" Vera on the UFC 268 card on Sunday.
The former lightweight world champion was knocked out cold in
the third round by a kick from Vera that landed flush on his chin.
The ugly moment was captured in gruesome detail in a photo that showed the brutal force of how the kick rocked Edgar to his foundations and rearranged his face.
The Madison Square Garden crowd in New York lost it when the fight was stopped moments after Edgar toppled forward and collapsed as a result of the kick.
