Just thought I'd make a poll and see who you would rather see Eddie fight right now. Don't look it as being tied to any organization, just try to look at the matchup itself.
Trying to do a poll, but not sure how.
Options, Eddie vs...
Gilbert Melendez
Nate Diaz
Benson Henderson
Anthony Pettis
Michael Chandler
Rick Hawn
Donald Cerrone
Frankie Edgar
Gray Maynard
I wouldn't argue with that one bit. I'm pumped for Hawn vs Chandler because Hawn has KO power and great balance and take down defense with his Judo. I wouldn't mind seeing Eddie fight either one of those guys.
I picked Gilbert and then read somebody else name Clay Guida and that peaked my interest. Alvarez/Guida sounds great to me.
But still SF needs another decent LW.
I just think Alavarez vs Huggy Bear is a horrific idea personally. Eddie vs Gil is just an amazing style matchup that should be great to watch. Not to mention they have been 2 of the highest ranked fighters outside of the UFC for years now. Just seems perfect to me, especially if SF is going to do only 1 more show.
Diego Sanchez, Sanchez/Alvarez is a good title eliminator, maybe give each of them a tune-up fight. After Cerrone/Pettis their isn't to many guys in line for a title shot.
I can't believe i picked Gilbert as well, but out of all those matches that's the one that intrigues me the most. I just hope if he does fight him, that he doesn't end up being stuck in SF.
I'm starting to think that Eddie is criminally underrated on this board and might be suffering some kind of backlash due to Lombard, which is silly, they are completely different fighters.
He needs to fight edgar period.
FOTY candidate easily.
when you put two guys with that much heart and technique in a fight, crazy things tend to happen. i know frankie is moving down, but if he could stay at LW for just one more fight, i would want to see those to meet, and it would have to be a 5 rounder.
AmdM-yup, and it doesn't change the fact that to me out of all those fights listed it would be the best one to watch and the one im most willing to pay to see.
It has to be Nate because every fight is better with Nate. I'd love to see him fight Pettis and Frankie too althought that's as likely as a virgin giving birth.
