The main event of UFC Fight Night Austin (UFC 57) featured a featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Frankie Edgar to determine the number one contender.
Frankie Edgar polished off his dominant performance over Cub Swanson with a flourish, scoring the latest finish in UFC history with a fifth-round neck crank which ended what had already been an overwhelmingly lopsided UFC Fight Night 57 main event with just four seconds left on the clock.
“Dana (White), you said you’d be watching. I hope you like what you see,” an elated Edgar (18-4-1) said afterward. “I’m coming for that belt. Whether you give it to me right away, I’m coming for it. And for all those people who are doubting me, you better buckle up because this is just the beginning. I’m just getting started.”
