"UFC Fight Night: Edgar Vs. Swanson" Results, Bonuses And Attendance

UFC Fight Night 50 took place from Austin, Texas Saturday night and saw former UFC Lightweight Champion stop the six-fight winning streak of #2-ranked featherweight Cub Swanson. Edgar managed a neck crank submission with only four seconds left in the fifth round, the latest submission finish in UFC history.

Edgar used his wrestling to control the fight after the first two minutes, repeatedly taking down Swanson and imposing relentless ground and pound for five entire rounds. Cub Swanson would occasionally work back to butterfly guard and make it back to his feet, but the offense of Edgar was overwhelming.

Heavy hitting lightweights Edson Barboza and Bobby Green also clashed, with #11 Barboza taking home a unanimous decison win over #7-ranked Green. Barboza utilized his superior footwork to control the pace of the bout and frustrate Green.

Unable to handle the movement, Green threw his hands up and taunted Barboza each time the Brazilian connected with a punch. This continued until Barboza landed one of his signature spinning wheel kicks, which was inches away from being a knockout blow.

Frankie Edgar, Paige VanZant, Kailin Curran, and Alexey Oliynyk took home the $50,000 performance bonuses. Attendance for the event was over 10,000. Full results for the event are below.
