JP24 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 How about none of them. The only one left that has a chance is Gray Maynard again, but we all know Dana said no to a rematch anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khazaljj Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Here's my list: Yep that's it. Maynard is the biggest, strongest wrestler at 155. Frankie is here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP24 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Henderson.Everyone else can stay in their place. Henderson is the only guy I don't think Edgar can finish, he gets to be on at least that list. Frankie won't stop him, but he'll still beat him.

nyran125 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 who knows, Frankiwe has shown hes an incredibly durable fighter. So who the hell knows, Melvin lost tonight, so hes just been dropped for th etitle picture now. It would be sht if Melvin got a title shot now, he just lost, BAD. Im a massive Melvin fan BTW. But its going o take a tough fighter and incredibly skilled one to beat Frankie after what we saw yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Know_it_all Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Frankie is not stronger than Diego. And as far as Kenny almost GSPing it up last night he lost 49-46.

BruteDion Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 After seeing jo lauzon stagger melvin it should be noted that anyone can connect just right on anyone Sometimes edgar is to jump with his movement and thats how he keeps getting tagged My list in order of treats not skill El nino Melvin Bendo maynard (have to see where his head is at after getting tkoed first) Eddie Some ppl think siver....i dont think hes no bigger treat then any other joe cuz siver has power but hes to slow with his striking for frankie...he would have to hope for frankie to make a mistake first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Sanchez @ 155 Nate Diaz @ 155 Jose Aldo @ 155[/quote'] Gilbert Melendez is sooooooo overated, name someone impressive he beat handedly. He went to a split with Guida and lost to JOSH THOMPSON... he's been fighting terrible fighters, he's good, but not great at all. He struggles with bad fighters but pulls off the win and did you see the Aoki fight, (Aoki may be the most, overrated fighter/ no stand up at all, NONE, just amazing BJJ) GM has the Jack Shields syndrom... he's so good against nobodies he must be one of the best...

Sanchez, Melendez, & Henderson would be great fights, but they would fall short too I think. My list would include Aldo or Florian, and that's about it. That said, I would put my money on Frankie in those fights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrodMMA92 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 BJ if he ever cares to drop down and really trains for a fight I still think could beat Edgar but IDK his style might just be made for BJ... Bendo I think could be able to beat Frankie if he continues to improve. He looked great against Miller and I think Guida moves about as much as Frankie (not as well but as much) and it is a good fight for a possible title shot. I would have said Pettis but his last couple of fights are making me question how much he can really improve to hang with the top of the LW division. He is still young and can really grow into a much better fighter it just depends on how he grows. Frankie has improved more and more with each fight since getting the chance at BJ. Beating the LW GOAT made his confidence soar and I think he feels that he can beat anyone if he keeps training to get better so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Brashears Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Only guy I could see beating Frankie is a guy that can take him down bell to bell and thats henderson but I think frankie can do his awesome movement and outbox him and take him down and win a ud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR40 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 This may not be too popular, but I'll say Nate Diaz. He would have a nice reach advantage, crisp boxing and is great off his back. Edgar is not even close to the size of the last 2 guys that threw Diaz around therefore Edgar can take him down, but he isn't as big as Kim and Rory Taylor made FOTN.

Buttons Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Frankie can be beaten just like any other champ.. But he has proven a few interesting things: 1. He is incredible at stopping takedowns and neutralizing wrestlers and BJJ artists... 2. He can take a punch, but is not impossible to hit.. And when a punch lands he gets rocked easilly, even if he recovers extremly fast.. So who will beat him? A striker... A striker with good head movement, fast strikes and the power and brain to not punch himself out.. But he also needs to have excelent TDs so that Frankie cannot only focus on the striking (cause then he will just run around doing nothing).. Who fits this description? Jose Aldo Also, BJ Penn before he got lazy would probably do better against Edgar that he did in his last two fights with him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Sanchez @ 155 Nate Diaz @ 155 Jose Aldo @ 155 it wasnt a fluke. Guillard hits hard, but he cant take a punch. that shot that Lauzon dropped him with was just a paw.
