Very stupid,not only to listen to DANA but for the sport.He was one of the true classy warriors who stuck to what he believed in .

IMO there is a lot better talent at 145 many more exciting fights,this is a mistake.

I know the UFC would have a hard time marketing Frankie now that he will be fighting lesser fights.Since they are paying him anyhow ,i guess they figure might as well setup a Aldo fight for a big payday.Frankie will imo not do well versus strikers and 145 has many.He would have to quit his slap and run technique and move to more grappling but i doubt that happens.

Jose is a terrible match up for Frankie. Great TDD' date=' speed and leg kicks. He will struggle more with Jose than ANY LW fighter he could have fought.[/quote']

 

I don't see that his TDD is that great. Even so, he hasn't faced anybody as strong or as good of a wrestler as Edgar. As long as Edgar uses his wrestling wisely, he can win this.

Are you high!? LoL

 

Money

 

I feel that he is a better wrestler than Mendes, at least in MMA...I realize Mendes has a better wrestling pedigree from college, but Edgar was still D1 and qualified for nationals all 4 years and I definitely believe he is stronger. I just don't think Mendes would have performed as well against the competition Edgar has faced.

Aldo best be scared. The p4p GOAT is knocking on his door.

 

I'm not saying Edgar is anywhere near GOAT but Aldo couldn't stop Florian so i doubt he'll stop Edgar.This really is Aldo's biggest test to date. Edgar is basically a better Homminick and we all know how Aldo did against Mark.

 

Assuming Edgar has a good weightcut and doesn't get caught in his fight leading up to Aldo he has a legitimate chance of dethroning him.

Come on, Aldo wasn't right in the Homnick fight... same as the Kenny fight. Rumor was the weight cut was killing him (figuratively), and it showed.

 

I remember at the pre-fight press conference a day or two before he had to leave early because he was fainting or some ****.
