Seriously people, this is the best chance to get rid of this guy. He said it himself, "We're all 3 losses from being out of it." Well, game over. You know he's just going to whine and ask for another rematch anyway. Why not kick him to the curb while the opportunity is there? I mean, when is this chump going to realize that he's a poor excuse for a flyweight? I need an answer.

I hadnt pondered that before, but I have to admit its not a bad idea.  

Edgar vs Chandler in Bellator 

Edgar vs Aoki in OneFC

Its not like there are not fights outside UFC for him

So you're going to cut a guy who beats every featherweight not called Aldo and every lightweight not called Bendo (and even that is suspect, I'm pretty sure he beat Bendo in their last fight and I don't remember Bendo doing anything significant but an upkick in the first ... that's the champ, you know, the guy who ragdolled Diaz)?

I'm not a Frankie fan, never was, never will be (even if he wins 3 belts in 3 different weight divisions), but he's SO no "cut" material. If Akiyama and Hardy survived 4 losses to much lesser competition, I'm pretty sure Edgar's 3 highly competitive losses to 2 p4p top 10 guys won't get him cut.

Edgar should listen to his team and drop to Bantaweight

On another note, I think Frankie should go back to 155. His speed advantage was a huge difference maker. Not at 145

Anyone suggesting he be cut is on ******* crack and should stop watching MMA... and possibly set fire to their face.

1) Some people, like Edgar, should get more than 3 losses. 

2) It's a completely different conversation when you lose to Bendo, Bendo (a fight who many think Edgar won), and Aldo as opposed to undercard fighters.

They were all title fights. This isn't even a thread that should exist. Remove heads from asses and feet from mouth and come back to the real world.

This is ridiculous! Why the **** would Edgar get cut? Losing two decision to the best LW in the world .. 1 of which most people thought he won? Or should he get cut because he lost a CLOSE decision to the 2nd/3rd best P4P fighter on the planet? Get outta here.

What a great idea to cut Frankie Edgar :) .. So smart and thoughtful and no hateful bias at all from you right? :) :) :) ... Seriously though I thought Frankie won both fights vs Bendo and I heard he was screwed again last night, ridiculous.

He definitely lost to Aldo. It wasn't even close.

I wouldn't say the Aldo fight wasn't even close..

Aldo took R1 and R2 easy. R3 was very close, could have went either way. But R4 and R5 were imo very clear for Edgar. 

I don't 'disagree' with the decision, it was a close fight.

you are crazy the ufc would not cut one of there best fighters who some can say that he beat the lightweight  champion benson henderson wich most would say the fights with bendo are to close to call. he also all most beat opne of the best pound for pound fighters in aldo so why cut him.

One of those decisions that was closer than it seemed. After the fight, there was no doubt in my mind that Aldo won, but the third and fifth were very close. Gave Aldo the 3rd and was torn about the 5th. Definitely gonna watch that fight again.
