Edgar one of your favorite fighters now?

I think he gained a lot of respect for winning the way he did. I like him a lot more with each fight.

No, but I never disliked him either and certainly don't now

Not a favorite fighter of mine, but respect.

He's been 1 of my favs since he beat Sean Sherk. Now he's my 2nd fav behind GSP.

He's always been one of my favorite fighters, but being a teammate and a friend makes it even more so.

Became Frankie's fan after he defeated Penn in Xerses land.

That was the point of his career where I disliked him the most, since he had no business leaving with the belt. Man, to think of how much that decision changed the landscape of MMA

I scored the fight for Frankie, he deserved it IMO.

i like him as a fighter. as a person he is just another guy from jersey shore. actually he is good friends with ronny and pauly i believe. anyways great fighter. to be honest had sherk not been so stupid and trying to impress fans he should of been able to beat frankie at that point in their career. now days frankie would own a prime sherk. since the 2nd bj fight the guy has shown the belt is around the true #1 lw in the world.

Actually Frankie is not friends with Ronny and Pauly. His wife is friends with Jwoww and she is dating one of Frankies friends from before she was on the show. Frankie has said in interviews how he used to beat up the Jersey Shore types of people on the boardwalk when he was younger.

He's become one of mine. I was indifferent for awhile, and then i didnt like him much after Abu Dhabi afer he won the title on a robbery decision.

However, he did defeat BJ decisively in the rematch and i don't know how you can not be a fan of him ager not only surviving some epic first round beat downs from Maynard, but pretty much taking over the fights from that point like nothing even happened. Hard to not be a fan. He's probably my second favorite active LW behind Gil. BJ is my favorite if he was in the division right now.

I like BJ Penn too much so I still haven't came to terms with Frankie Edgar. I respect everything about him as a fighter and public figure though. I just thought about him saying he was a Jersey Shore fan so I'm thinking he may not be likable. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and hit the send button since he just beat Maynard.

My indifference has warmed, but lets not line up to start sucking his dick already...

how can you not be a fan of the guy...

Gotta respect him, but I'm not a fan.

Yeah I've heard Frankie say in interviews that he doesn't really like the show, but then you see the countdown show where all his dudes he had watching the replay of his fight with Maynard were all in the back yelling some disrespectful shit just like some "Jersey Shore" type he tries to seperate himself from. Just like the video that they put out after his fight with BJ the first time, all his people sure seem like the "Jersey Shore" types.

I'm no judging him. Lord knows if I faught and my friends were on video routing for me it would probably be worse I'm just saying I think he shouldn't deny what's obvious that he's a "jersey shore" guy just like any other the rest of them.

He is a "Jersey Shore type" in that he is from the part of the country so therefore he will carry mannerisms and a dialect similar to those featured on the show. Just like if MTV made a show called ALABAMA TRAILER PARK and some fighter from the same area of Alabama had a similar accent. Or if they made a show called The Baddest Bitches from Hotlanta and there was a ring girl from Atlanta. Or whatever.


lol@reality shows causing prejudice against East Coast accents.

that SIG is fucking epic Kings, just from that staredown alone i became a huge Edgar fan lol

Wolf to me it isn't the "mannerisms and a dialect similar to those featured on the show" that make his friends the "Jersey Shore" types it's the douche bag disrespectful comments made by his crew that he has around him during the countdown and had watching his first fight with BJ. They could've had all the same "mannerisms and a dialect similar to those featured on the show" and just cheered Frankie on without those comments and I wouldn't think that.

The fact that he is from NJ, has nothing to do with it. The fact that every time he speaks he says 'You know?' drives me a bit bonkers. And BTW, yes, I live in Alabama, but I am not from Alabama, but even if I was, I still love this place.

I just like him because Frankie Edgar finishes fights

You do realize that the guys on Jersey Shore aren't from the area, they are from New York.

Thank you. Trust me none of my friends act the way those idiots do. None of us "fist pump" or act like J/O's. Please do not stereo type us. People from NJ HATE that show. As for Frankie I am sure he is saying what he believes to be politically correct. I don't think it would be wise for him when it was brought up Snooki and Situation where there at the fight for him to say so freakin what who cares. I would have said it but i'm not professional lol.

You sound heated brah
