NEW YORK – Marlon Vera recaptured the attention of the UFC brass and MMA fans around the world when he finished former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Vera continued his ascent up the bantamweight ladder when he stopped Edgar (24-9-1 MMA, 18-9-1 UFC) with a TKO from a front kick to the face in Round 3 of their three-round main card fight at UFC 268 . The moment, in Vera’s estimation, was one of the most exhilarating of his career. “To win in Madison Square Garden?” Vera told MMA Junkie at a post-fight news conference
