NEW YORK (AP) — Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar lost the final bout of his MMA career after he was dropped by Chris Gutierrez in the first round of their fight at Madison Square Garden. The 41-year-old Edgar took a knee to the head at UFC 281 and suffered the brutal KO loss in his last time in the cage over a career that started in 2005. Gutierrez and Edgar had a long embrace after the spectacular finish in the 135-pound fight that quieted another packed crowd at MSG. Edgar finished his career at 24-11-1 overall and 18-11-1 in the UFC.
