Its gonna be a good fight, but it shouldn't be happening. Showtime should be in this bout and Edgar should fighting Aldo.

Made sense to me.

Farmer I forget, did you score the fight for Edgar? I think only freak and LA did right?

One of the very few fights I didn't get to see live (same with Edgar v Penn & Evans v Davis) so I couldn't score it without some bias knowing what the outcome was. I don't think Edgar got robbed like some though.

I didn't mind who took it 48-47 or even if it was a draw. Ninja and LA straight out had it for Edgar.

Oh yea, it was ninja, my bad.

Close fight, but one dude had a smashed eye and nose, and one didn't. This makes it less close. Considering Edgar has already got favorable decisions during his run, and has already been involved in assloads of title rematches, it think it would have made more sense to aerate the division a bit and let the judges decide a winner for once.

I bet a Showtime-Bendo fight or an Aldo-Edgar fight each would have out-sold this one. The fans weren't clamoring for this. I can't understand why they did this.

Edgar would have been a perfect opponent for Aldo who otherwise has no one to fight.

I'm a huge Edgar fan but I didn't think he should've got the rematch. Bendo vs Pettis should've been made.

And now Pettis is stuck behind Nate or Jim.

Who should Pettis fight in the fall to give him the #1 contender spot?

Maynard & Guida are booked. They should bring Melendez over or give him the winner of Evan Dunham vs. Edson Barboza.

Pettis vs Dunham/Barboza, Bocek, Wiman, Danzig, Cerrone would all be ok. Edgar got a title fight off Matt Veach. None of these fights are below his level. All ranked except for Danzig in the top 25.

Pettis vs. Penn.

Yeah, you know, I had some issues with my nose. My nose obviously breaks pretty frequently, at least for the last couple of fights, so I just need some time to let it heal properly so I can get back to sparring.
