UFC 222 Results: Cyborg Dominates, Ortega Stuns Edgar

The UFC is back in “Sin City” tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada from the T-Mobile Arena for UFC 222 on pay-per-view (PPV). In the main event of the evening UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” will defend her title against promotional newcomer Yana Kunitskaya. The co-main event will see top featherweights Frankie Edgar and Brian Ortega throw down inside the Octagon, likely for a shot at 145-pound champ Max Holloway next.
