Fighters react to Cory Sandhagen’s incredible KO of Frankie Edgar

Cory Sandhagen made a statement on Saturday night in Las Vegas, knocking out veteran Frankie Edgar with a memorable strike that will be seen on highlight reels for many years to come.

Sandhagen’s flying knee landed flush on Edgar’s chin, sending him to the canvas and knocking him out. Sandhagen has now won five of his last six fights, including a second-round KO of Marlon Moraes in October.
