LOl ya frankie sucks cause he doesnt finish some of the best fighters in the world * sarcasm* the fanboy everyfight should finish bullshit is getting absolutely rediculous

The bottom line is that you guys who equate footwork with running, combinations with jabs, and 10 seconds of ground action as lay and pray are not just boring, but stupid.

So Edgar was only throwing jabs? That's weird, because Compustrike says that of his 66 standing punches landed, only 12 were jabs.And lol @ the notion that when guys land a combination, they should remain where they are so the other guy can take his turn to hit them.

Kid Yamamoto routinely and impressively finished off 155 contenders. The man is a natural 135 pounder. People were more impressed about his utter dominance and entertainment value more than they were about his weight. The bottom line is that Edgar is boring. You can't defend a fighter's lack of entertainment value with his weight issue.

Put frankie in a RING with four corners with BJ and BJ finishes him in one round, maybe two. You cant runin a ring like you can in a circle (octogon).Case in point, Lyoto Machido. He wasnt shit in Japan but put him in the octogon and now all the sudden hes "elusive", yeah, no shit.Frankie could beat BJ Penn 100 times in the UFC and I'd still put my left nut on Penn in a real fight. Edgar dont know nothin bout JUST SCRAP

You think not tapping to the knee bar against Tyson Griffen wasn't a risk? You don't think winning every round against the man considered the greatest lw of all time is doing a "great" thing? Just by fighting at 155 Edgar is taking a risk and by being the world champion he's accomplished every fighter's greatest goal. I'm socked that Frankie never lets any of this get under his skin. The lack of respect and fanboy criticism just doesn't get to him.

But, Jordan took risks, and did great things. He didn't squeek by.

For all Tards complaining about people wanting finishes, its not just the the finish thats the problem, its the game plan of: jab n run, jab n run, circle, jab n run (like RMA said) WAY Too many fighters using this style, making for 3-5 rounds of no finishes! seems like 2 kinds of fans on here latley!Those that like the Mike Tyson undercards of LW fighters & praise their 12 rounds of masterful technique!And those of us who like the actual Tyson fights with the baddest dudes on the planet going for the kill.1)Fedor,Cain,Carwin,Overeem,Zaromski,Lawler,Manoef,Sonnen! 2)Edgar,GSP,Fitch,Bisping,Koscheck,Rashad & the rest of the Cirlce & Jab/Lay & Pray club!
