Edgar has earned a lot of respect, including mine, since he won the title beating Bj twice, and also Maynard, knocking him out in their last fight and i don't mind admitting that i thought both guys would beat him. This time i genuinely think that Bendo has what it takes to stop Edgars ascent but like i said, i thought that before he fought both Bj and Maynard so i wouldn't exactly be suprised if he pulled it off again. Frankie is brilliant at not letting his opponent get into any kind of rhythm and pulling them into his fight. Maynard was much stronger than Frankie but that still didn't help him in the end, the same could be said here. It's definately going to be an interesting fight to see what tactics they both employ. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Bendo by submission..........
I picked R3 sub
By Ben obviuosly
The UFC was never on par with the PrideFC. What the hell Dana talking about that PrideFC was the only org to be on same level as the UFC.
Then and now the UFC never had presentation,fighters,and drew over 100,000 plus live crowds. To me the UFC ruined what MMA should be respect and honer the forever PrideFC.
