Yahoo scored it for Frankie 49-46

2 out of the 3 writers for Sherdog scored it 49-46 Edgar...the other one scored it a draw.

Yeah TJ De Santis...but that's not saying much..anyone who knows and follows the SDR could vouch.

Round 3 was a solid 10-10 for me.

THIS!!!

well, i'm not a huge fight metric fan but their final report show the striking stats favor Frankie Edgar as well. Significance is purely subjective but that may throw Bendo's last defense out the window because until now he atleast had the striking tally on his side as far as UFC stats went...i knew the live stats were kind of whack and it seemed to me Frankie was landing more.

Cowboy vs Pettis is fine but I would be OK with Frankie vs either one of those 2 for the next title shot. Also call me crazy but I wouldn't mind if Maynard beats Miller to have Frankie vs Maynard again for a title shot. I understand Frankie not getting a rematch but I don't see why he can't get a fast track to the belt.

I think Maynard, Pettis or Aldo should get next shot after Diaz.

I could have sworn I saw it somewhere. But looks like I'm just crazy lol, my bad.

This fight makes complete sense considering the landscape of the division though. I wouldn't be surprised if this matchup is actually made.

Since Bendo is fighting Diaz, Pettis is fighting Cowboy, Frankie is probably moving down to 145, the only real options for Maynard are Lauzon and Miller.

Ohhhhh I just checked, knew I wasn't crazy. Ariel mentioned it on the post fight FUEL show. I just rewinded DVR and checked. Said it's a fight he looked forward to along with Cowboy vs Pettis. Glazier calling for Maynard vs Lauzon. So I guess it's just Ariel's wishlist.

Just got a text from my insider who just had a chat with Joe Silva.

If Edgar does decide to move down to 145 a match with the Korean Zombie is most likely. Winner of course getting the next shot after Aldo/Koch.

Really tho, neither guy deserved the decision and it was close enough to go either way. Considering that Frankie had no business getting a rematch I'm actually fine with the result... Now if we're gonna come in here once a blue moon and call people idiots for having it the other way and then say Frankie won the first fight???? GTFO of here, you sir might be an idiot

It was really close but Ben made it close by being so inactive in the later rounds.

Ben really needs to work on his striking cause right now Nate will pick him apart.

48-47 edgar he took rounds 2 4 and 5 on my card

And Ludo just stop. No one here really respects your opinion on anything except for bird. What did bendo do to win that fight? Throw kicks that got caught and countered every time by edgar? Or being out boxed for the whole fight? It was close but Bendo didn't do shit to deserve that decision. Frankie was controlling the pace of the fight and to me it was pretty clear he was landing the better cleaner harder strikes consistently.

Bendo won 1 round, 2 at the very most. No way he should've got the decision. The 49-46 Edgar card was more of a true reflection than 48-47 Bendo.

i had it 3 rds to 2 for edgar, close fight the stats before decision made me think henderson might get the nod, just on significant and total strikes

I didn't get to watch the fight, but im glad to see ninja is a bbc12 girl.


Also, Dana finally gets his way and Frankie will be fighting Aldo. This is worse then Hathaway vs Sanchez, lol.

48-47 Henderson. Closer then their last fight but Edgar didn't win and hendo didn't lose.

When the 49-46 card was read, I was in a room full of frightened people. 49-46 was a joke. It was 48-47 one way or the other. This fight, unlike their last, could truley of gone either way, but not 49-46.

49-46 Edgar was more realistic than 48-47 Bendo.

Throwing kicks that landed before getting caught, and then more often than not it was Bendo hitting Frankie and not the other way around. Being outboxed for the whole fight? We're talking about a difference of four strikes standing over twenty five minutes. Saying Frankie was landing harder strikes all night is laughable.

I could understand 49-46 for Edgar, not Bendo.

i gave it henderson 48-47 but rounds 3-5 were razor thin decisions.
