UFC 156 discussion

Frankly the only reason the fight became competitve was because Aldo slowed down and became too wary of takedowns, those first two rounds he was toying with Edgar.

That's what all Brazilians do is toy with people when they know they can destroy them I hate it. Just get the job done and move on.

Stopping Edgar is alot easier said than done, say what you will about Frankie's style but that guy is as tough as nails.

Gotta roll with Ali here. As much as I hate Edgar's face he is one tough mofo. Those leg kicks looked like they about crippled him and he just kept bouncing around and started throwing his own leg kicks. Dude's got brass balls for sure.

Rogan influenced the viewers to much in the latter rounds. Aldo was still getting the better of Frankie even though he wasn't bouncing around like a fucking monkey.

Rogan has been OTT lately, he's beginning to give Jim Lampley a run for his money.

In reality he is 1-1-1 in the UFC with 1 win over the current Champion. By your logic I guess it's time to cut Frankie Edgar as well. 3 fight losing streak. Even though it's not really a 3 fight losing streak.

What fight do you think he won?

I'd assume he thinks the first Johnson fight was scored incorrectly, not being a forced to a final round in error, he should since it was scored incorrectly a win for Johnson, but I think most people didn't even think it should be a draw but a win for McCall, that's how I had it scored after 3.

I had McCall winning the first fight 29-28.

Yeah I was talking about Mouse vs Creepy 1, I felt Creepy won the fight. I still should have put 1-2 instead of 1-1-1 though that was my mistake. But he clearly lost the 2nd fight to Mouse. The Joe fight I thought was very close and Creepy was 1 solid shot or take down from getting the nod. It was just out of reach. The 2 rounds he lost were very close rounds. I don't think Creepy fought a very smart fight.
But if you(Farmer) were asking which Frankie fight I thought he won out of the last 3 it was the 2nd Bendo fight, the one me, you and most of the World scored for Frankie.
