Cory Sandhagen vs Frankie Edgar ended with one of the biggest flying knee knockouts in history. How did Sandhagen knockout Edgar? How did he set it up? Where was Frankie's opening?

Not a good night for the old school. Hard to watch that and the Overeem fight.
@Akita 90 no. It isnt so easy to chalk it up that way. Generally Heavyweights can fight later since its often power based. The classes that are more dependent on speed is when its a young mans game. Regardless, Overeems and Edgard fights were apples and oranges. Frankly Edgar has only himself to blame. Age wasnt on his side, but he should be looking to shoot all day. And he didnt. Thats not about age either. He had his opening and decided to stay standing up. Thats poor decision making. Doesnt have anything to do w old skool vs nee skool... it didnt even have time to develop into that. 28 seconds. That has not to do w old vs new. He got caught w a knee. Fight shouldve already been on the ground. And Overeem just got beat by a superior, well rounded fighter when Alistair was fighting a very 1 dimensional, predictible fight. Thats what happens at any age.
Cerrone is hard to watch
You either retire a hero or fight long enough to see yourself become a highlight
It is a reminder that the game is dangerous and if you enter you are agreeing to the possibility of this outcome.
Tell me about it😅
He was literally shotting for a td as he got KO'd..
Frankie will be back. The man is a Champion.
Sterling beat Sandhagen. Why make the fight so soon? If Sterling beats Yan then Sandhagen should fight Yan. If Yan wins? Then Sandhagen should rematch Sterling
Sandhagen should be a welterweight. He kills himself to fight tiny fighters for an advantage.
"Poor Frankie!" 😥
I wanna see Yan vs Cory plus I don't see Yan beating him
Frankie got decimated by a BJJ guy as well on the feet. He needs to retire.
lol @ your ending word blend
that punching bag was washed since ortega koed him to make matters worse edgar abandoned his wrestling edgar thinks he can strike when he cant
Duck, duck, GGGNOOOO! Frankie will always be a legend, but he can’t even compete with these new 35ers. Imagine him in the current 55lb division? Just goes to show how fast the new mma generation has come. That was beautiful
So: ihopeyouguysenjoythevideoifyoudindtmakesuretothumbsupmakatashoshisutagotoshisubscribe..and i see you guys in the next video.
Franky is old. I was just a teen when he was champ now im old. Imagine that 😹
what really happened was a flying knee to frankie edgars head. it doesnt take 4min to analyze that
This knee is actually way better than the Ben askren one. Just for the sheer fact that you were not expecting at all.. frankie time to to retire in style. You got great highlights nothing left to prove. Be a be a great coach or trainer ?
Why u talk so fast at the very end ? Sounds like an auctioneer lol. Great video and awesome breakdown as always. 👍🏼
Now ppl using sandhagen on ufc 4 like mad 😂😂 im lovin it cuz theyre trash with him
algo
I think you gotta give Ortega credit for the first knockout of Frankie. It was nothing like this brutality but it was still a vicious knockout of Edgar. This time Frankie wasn't on Queer Street but totally unconscious.
you talk at the end of the video like your telling the side effects of a drug haha
Walk off finish

Why do you think it is bad to throw a flying knee against a wrestler? Didn’t Jorge Masvidal prove that it is a great technique considering most wrestlers want to put their face in a mans crotch. Lol
Can't find a video highlight. I saw the fight, but just want to see something. Why do they do this? Like do they legit think right now, days after the event, I'm going to go drop $70 to watch a highlight? Really? UFC is dumb. So is anyone who thinks that preventing people from watching clips days later somehow gets them to buy the event. First off, I've never paid for a single UFC in my life, but have been watching them all since UFC 65. So suck it Dana. Oh but if I watch it for free in a bar, that's ok? But not if I stream it? Makes no difference. UFC gets their money from the bar anyway, and you don't get mine regardless. I see no difference.
I've always loved the against-all-odds, underdog-like Frankie. His granite chin, scrappiness, never quit attitude are legendary. Plus, he seems like a legit respectful dude, never talking ish and just going out and handling his bi-ness. Even when he fought T-City, whom I'm a diehard fan of (Gracie Jiu-Jitsu!!!), I felt a little hole in my heart when Brian had to do him like that. Out of the utmost respect for Frankie, I hope he rides off into the sunset, his place assured in the Hall of Fame. Outstanding career, a great ambassador of the sport, he deserves all the accolades due him.
ENTER SANDMAN! I see something really special in Cory S.
I love Frankie but I Think all the young kids are getting to be too much for the legends
Why is everybody saying nobody’s ever knocked him out like this? I don’t think it was too much different from when Brian Ortega knocked him out
Frankie Edgar once said BJ Penn should retire when he was getting beat up now look Frankie it's time for you to hang it up too buddy you're getting your ass knocked out all the time you getting old Bud time to hang it up
I have absolutely no respect for anyone that try’s to drop weight like that to gain an edge... to be 5”11 and fight at 135 is cowardice. I personally think 155 should be the smallest weight class and should operate like heavy weight where anything over 205 and under 265 is heavy weight lightweight should be 125-155lbs. I have fought and trained mma for about 13 years. I stand 5”7 and most of my fights have been at 170lbs and some at 155lbs. I hate 155, I feel weak and small as hell at 155 and it takes away from my strengths which would be a heavy right hand and right leg round house, shit anything coming off the right side of my body. When I was younger and listened to my couch’s and dropped to 155 it robbed me of that power. My body naturally wants to sit at 167-175lbs and that’s where fighters should be fighting at, where their body sits at naturally. (Naturally when training, lifting and eating)
can I just say what's up with these almost 6' tall guys fighting in such light weight class?
How is nobody talking about that Cory tried same exact thing against Moraes? Frankie should've watched your vid deconstructing that fight to be prepared for that :)
Cory's fight IQ 💯
Acting like zombie and Ortega didn’t already starch dude
Before Ortega it was, 'no one's ever knocked out Frankie' now it's 'no one's ever knocked out Frankie in this fashion' next it'll be 'no ones ever knocked out Frankie with a flying Crane Kick'.
"never even shot for a take down" C'mon man 😆 He only had 25 seconds lol
Amazing knockout, but I hate that it happened to Frankie.
He said "winner of Jan v Aljo gets KO'd by me" Man is on a Mission
Was screaming noooooo with this one
Petr Yan will pick this guy apart.
Nice ko but the dude is so cocky I cant stand him lol
that's ridiculous; 5'11" @ 135lbs
That well timed knee happened
Might just be me, but i dont find it impressive watching someone whose 5’11” fight midgets
The weasel knows his shit..
I said it as soon as I saw that I’ve never seen Frankie get put out like that. You hate to see it.
The knee turned Frankie into a statue before he fell face first into the canvas. Brutal. Frankie is a stud. I hope he doesn’t retire.
Ortega's KO of Frankie was fairly brutal too.
This was way worse than the Overeem knockout because Edgar was stiffened on impact
I've been following mma since 2015 and have never seen frankie fight like he belongs in the ufc win or loss. Yeh call me a casual but i don't appreciate someone whose only ability to win is through cardio and stick-wrestling having a mere intention of scoring points with close to zero damage applied.
I knew Cory was going to finish Edgar. But dayum 28 secs?
Flying knees=wrestlers worst nightmare
I’ve never liked Edgar, glad he got sparked like that idgaf what anyone says 😂😂💀💀
Brian Ortega wondering what he did to Frankie in the first round???
Suga Sean vs Sandman is gonna fucking fireworks.
agreed but that is a long way to go
I’d like to see Frankie retire...Great fighter but time catches everyone!
Frankie looked good, to be 39 and moving like he was is impressive. Sometimes shit just happens, it’s a shame we couldn’t see the fight unfold a little bit. I think Edgar was going to look the best he has in a couple years.
Gamebread showed the world how to handle wrestlers and so there you go!
He needed another statement win to get people to fight for him getting a title fight over Dillashaw next. I think he did that pretty well
This is what they mean by "high fight i.q."
38 years old should be the age limit at UFC.
It is not necessary but Edgar just joined the Askren flying knee victim club!
Everyone’s a fight expert. -Dustin Porier
Weasel, no matter what kind of a chin anyone has, a knee to the jaw will send anyone to heaven and back down to hell in 30 seconds.
that was beautifully brutal. If you don't like seeing things like that you aren't a UFC fan. As Masvidal would say, switch to soccer.
The aljo fight honestly seems like a fluke after what Cory did to Marlon and Frankie
I mean, we still didn’t saw Cory on the ground since so we can’t say that fight was a fluke, I’d say it is more of a bad matchup than a fluke
I can tell you what really happened. Frankie had an early bedtime.
Weasel's outtro gets faster every video lmao pretty sure he does it on purpose
Frankie has a better resume that Mcchimp. No excuses.
Cory is a better person than he is a fighter. Super happy for him, even more excited for his future. He found another gear and is finally ready. Super respectful and humble in the post fight press conference, too. 🙌🏻
39 is too old for 135 and thats it
I feel sorry for the guy that has to fight sandhagen. Especially for a title.
Poor Frankie. The stars aligned for that knee too. Think it's time to hang up for him man. Cory nxt for title shot for sure though.
idk it's a small thing but when you call a video "what really happened" it kinda seems like it is going to be controversial on what actually occured
Frankie took the knee faster than Kaepernick.
this is how i thought the Dan Hooker fight was going to go.
So he calculated 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Cory is so technically sound about offense and defense that he had his chin tucked and right hand high in the air after that knee cause he knew frankies right hand was coming if that knee never landed. Geez this guys good. Needs to work on that wrestling tho🤴🏽
Omalley is the china made sandhagen knock off. Cant wait to see him and yan (yan gonna get the finish on Aljo)
The young lions taking out the old legendary lions. It’s the sad reality we are witnessing, but the life cycle must go on. Stipe will be next.....
How the hell you 5' 11 and only weigh 135? That's some BS
Frankie must be wishing Ali hadn't paid the judges off to make him win against Pedro. This is a career defining ko loss.
As much as I like Cory and Volkov I hated seeing Frankie and Alistair be beaten like that
We dont care about your dam comments just came to see the flying knee ah
Oof! Decapitated the poor bastard.
You forgot about Ortega s KO of Frankie ...
I mean we can call it skill and say he deserves a title shot...BUT if you watch it back in slow mo..it was his thigh that landed on the chin, not the knee..and in no way indicates he has improved at all since being choked out by Sterling..ya''ll get way too excited..heard people telling Masvidal to sit down because this is the best flying knee of all time...ya'll drunk.
And Corey got smoked by Aljo absolutely SMOKED!!! MMA community needs to stop sleeping on Aljo!!!
Love the vids, but u billboard spoilers. I cant even go on youtube till ive seen the fights bc ur vid thumbs spoil everything.
Brian Ortega knocked him out too
Mah heart...I can't take seeing Frankie get koed like that
I’m sorry but this was one of the worst stoppages in ufc history. You can clearly see that Frankie was going for the takedown!!
3:59 too fast
**for the creator of this channel** My first time watching one of your videos, I immediately subscribed at the end. Your a sharp dude, you have a lot of reason and logic. Keep up the good work bro, we’ll keep watching and more subscribers will come.
Sandhagen is the best striker in the entire division, now we fking understand why Stirling jumped on his back as quick as possible! 😂
Sandhagen looks huge
To be able to read, calculate, and execute a knee that precise in 28 seconds is just crazy. Next level striking.
Painful to watch legendary fighters start to get beat up.

Anyone see Zabit..ever??
