As far as Frankie goes, I do love the guy, and I do think he beats Swanson, but a return to LW would be suicide, you guys. He ruled LW before the UFC was saturated with wrestlers, and guys cut a lot less weight. I mean, the days of cutting 10-15 lbs are over, just because there are so many guys who can and will cut more. If you don't cut at least 20, you're going to come in noticeably smaller in most cases. And especially if you fight with a more grappling-heavy style, you just can't afford that. I do agree Pettis can't wrestle though.
But Edgar vs Khabib is a slaughtler. Not only is Khabib clearly the better wrestler, but he's also way bigger. Frankie gets stapled to the mat in that one. But that fight would never get booked.
Also, what is the subject of this thread anymore? Haha

Don't get me started on Pettis' striking; just, wow. Is there a better user of body strikes in the game than Anthony Pettis? As much as his kicking game is talked about, the man also happens to be one of the best boxers in the UFC as well. He just really needs to work on his wrestling, because his striking game makes him so susceptible to takedowns.

Wait...what?
Benson Henderson has arguably the best top game in the lightweight division today. He's also notorious for being impossible to submit because of his gumby-likeflexibility, ridiculously strong neck (Frankie Edgar's guillotine would've tapped out pretty much anyone else), heart and determination.
Now if I remember correctly, it took Anthony Pettis a solid 20 seconds to submit Benson Henderson off of his back...

As for my Pettis comments. I didn't say he can't submit anyone. Him and Ben were in a scramble from that cartwheel kick Pettis threw and he latched on to the arm during that scramble. Ben never had top control on him. I'm just saying if some of these wrestlers that can grapple get him down and get top control I think they can avoid his submissions....like Clay "Chael Sonnen Light" Guida was able to do.
