He said Edgar won every single minute of every round in the fight, right up until the moment he got stung by the devastating kick.
Sonnen further said that Edgar proved he’s still in great shape and fit to continue fighting.

What does the future hold for Frankie Edgar?
With five losses in his last seven fights inside the octagon, the UFC brass is unsure about Frankie Edgar’s future in the promotion. Edgar’s move to the bantamweight division started on a positive note with a win over Pedro Munhoz. In the next two fights, however, the former lightweight champ suffered back-to-back losses.
At the post-fight press conference following UFC 268, Dana White was asked about Edgar’s future. While acknowledging that Edgar fought admirably on the night, White said that the former champ must go home and think about what he wants to do next.
