UFC on ESPN 15: ‘Edgar vs. Munhoz’ Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon remains in Las Vegas for tonight’s UFC on ESPN 15 event, a nine-bout fight card headlined by Frankie Edgar vs Pedro Munhoz.

The former UFC lightweight champion, Edgar (23-8-1 MMA), will be making his bantamweight debut this evening following a 8-5 run at featherweight.

In his most recent Octagon appearance this past December at UFC Busan, Frankie suffered a first-round TKO defeat to former 145lbs title challenger Chan Sung Jung. Prior to that, ‘The Answer’ was coming off a unanimous decision loss to Max Holloway in what served as Edgar’s third attempt to capture featherweight gold.

Meanwhile, Pedro Munhoz (18-4 MMA) will be returning to action for this first time since UFC 238 when he steps in the cage with Edgar this evening. ‘The Young Punisher’ was defeated by top contender Aljamain Sterling at the June 2019 event, a setback which snapped his impressive three-fight win streak.

Prior to being outpointed by ‘The Funkmaster’, Munhoz had scored stoppage victories over Bryan Caraway and Cody Garbrandt respectively.

Tonight’s UFC on ESPN 15 co-headliner was expected to feature a light heavyweight contest between Ovince Saint Preux and Alonzo Menifield. However, ‘OSP’ tested positive for Covid-19 earlier today and was thus forced to withdraw from the contest.

With that, another light heavyweight bout between Mike Rodriguez and Marcin Prachnio has been promoted to co-main event status.
