Edgar's top game and ground and pound and ground game in general has got infinitely better, he would flat out destroy Conor, the majority of the 145 lb and 155 lb division.
I want McGregor to be tested before fighting Aldo. Beating Siver shouldn't give you a title shot, sure he beat Dustin but the UFC didn't give Swanson his chance after beating the same level guys.
Oh who gives a crap about that at this point, he's going to do a big money fight with whoever the champion is. Swanson has 1% of the talking ability that McGregor has, it's sad, but the stars are going to get the fights. McGregor's a star, in a weight division where there were no stars before he got their.
Why would you risk the McGregor title fight at this point? It's promoting 101, he's not going to fight Mendes, Lamas or Edgar until after he gets the title fight.
I think Edgar should get the next shot at Aldo and assuming Conor beats Siver, which I assume he will, give him Mendes. If he can beat Mendes then I will be a believer.
Yeah just get McGregor/Aldo out of the way, I want to see Edgar/Mendes or Edgar/Lamas or Mendes/Lamas. It seems dumb to keep three of the top five featherweights apart from each other especially after they've each gotten their title shots.
Mendes/Lamas is the way to go, Edgar is a legit contender. No one wants to see Aldo/Lamas II, give Edgar a can to fight in the mean time, or just have him wait till the title shot.
I can't recall a boring fight from Edgar either. That I've seen at least. Edgar/Maynard II was the fight of the year, the heart that Edgar showed was unbelievable. Edgar/Maynard III was almost just as good. The first Bendo fight was really good and super close. The second Bendo fight I'll have to watch again but I remember thinking it was good, just a bad decision. His fight with Aldo was pretty close and super entertaining as well.
Edgar looked like a ******* maching in this fight. Excellent takedowns, top control, and GnP. The way he was able to keep moving and trap Swanson underneath him was awesome to watch, and so was his pace.
McGregor better be thankful he drew Siver instead of Edgar.
Actually fast forwarded half the fight. Felt like I was watching another Edgar vs BJ fight.
I actually think it should be Conor vs Edgar. This is for Conor's legacy and to put a stamp on his title shot. If Conor finishes Edgar then he'll have no more critics.
I don't think Conor stands a chance and I'm getting a little tired of the hype. I don't mind Conor but I want to see him face a top level wrestler like Mendes or Frankie before I jump on the bandwagon that everyone seems to be on. No doubt he's talented but I don't think there's any way he beats the Edgar we all saw tonight.
Yep... amazing performance by Edgar, totally dominated the best guy to never get a UFC title shot... and a personal favorite of mine. Can't argue with it, fought Swanson might have a chance after the first.
As much as I was pullin for Swanson I knew that he had very little chance of beating Edgar.
Probably the best performance by Frankie I have seen. This guy's only losses (with the exception of gray) are to champions. That's impressive. He also seems to be getting better too. I think he proved himself and deserves another crack at aldo, although Dana will probably give it to Conor (if he wins).
Other than maybe Mendes, I don't see any fights at FW for Frankie that make any sense right now. He just beat the #2 guy.
That was a beat down, Edgar is still firing on all cylinders. Shame Aldo is still in Edgar's way. Edgar, Lamas, Mendes sort of, Conor in a minute, all in the mix. All but one have fallen to the King.
I wish they didn't book Conor vs Siver, they should have waited and have him fight Lamas. They could book Aldo vs Edgar 2 now, and Conor vs Lamas is a true next contender bout.
Frankie wants the shot at the belt and it shows he isn't just asking guys down he is adding and Nasty GnP elbows into his arsenal. I thought he beat Aldo the first time and I truly believe he will beat him worse the second go around when it happens
As much as I still hate everything about Frankie Edgar, that was damn impressive! That said, 3 back to back losses in title fights say that he shouldn't get another rematch just yet.
