Prediction: wrong Edgar wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 5
I thought Aldo won the first two rounds pretty much unarguably, I thought Edgar won the last two rounds again pretty much unarguably and I also had Edgar winning the 3rd slightly however I can understand it being scored for Aldo.
The two judges scoring it 49 - 46 is absolutely ridiculous and those two people should never be able to judge another MMA fight.

I actually don't mind point fighting, but sometimes there's just a limit in arguing. You can point fight all you want but if the other guy has you reeling after every strike, you got serious problems. Edgar was never as clearly beaten as he was in this fight against Jose Aldo.

I respect Edgar but him complaining every time he loses a fight it's getting old, I think Aldo clearly won the fight maybe it could've been scored 48-47 but there was no doubt Aldo won

and had a close fight with Aldo
I think he can beat either guy on the right night
I hope he goes back and works up to a rematch with Aldo, if he wins great, if he loses go to 135 which he can make pretty easily.
btw, Cruz vs Edgar would be ****** great

Aldo won 3 rounds to 2. Aldo didn't dominate and the last 2 rounds Frankie clearly won. Frankie does better in rematches too so keep that in mind. To just dismiss Frankie as having a chance to beat Aldo is ridiclous. Frankie gave credit to Aldo for winning the fight and said he's the champ. What more would you like the guy to do? He's frustrated.....he's lost 3 straight title fights that were pretty damn close especially the 2 with Benson.

? what are you talking about edgar complaining? He does not say much normally at all. Did you watch the post fight press conference? He did not complain at all. In fact he impressed me. I think Edgar a hell of a guy and not a complainer in my opinion

I disagree that edgar clearly won the last two rounds, both were close and I believe the Fifth could have gone either way. Aldo again did more damage and landed more shots to the face.

I've always thought he relies too much in his speed, he uses it to close the distance, get in, connect and get out, but because of that he almost never commit to a punch, he doesn't load them so he inflicts very little damage whilst he's getting caught by big punches every now and then, he has good TD's but he doesn't make the most of them, and imho as long as he keeps fighting like this he will lose some decisions against bigger-hard striking fighters.
if he gets a rematch against Aldo I don't think he would do better, Aldo came from a long layoff and did better than Frankie it's more likely that Aldo improves his performance than Frankie

@franklin Edgar actually outstruck Aldo in rounds 3-5 and scored the only 2 takedowns of the fight. You can't just base winning a round or a fight off of damage. Frankie swells up and bruises after the first couple times he gets hit by anyone. So what.

Frankie out struck aldo by landing more leg kicks. Aldo hit Edgar in the face 40 more times then Edgar hit him.. And are you only going to sit here and tell me Edgar leg kicks were effective? Aldo landed a fraction of leg kicks that Edgar did but his were vastly more effective. When I am talking damage it not what Edgar face look lik. It what he looked like when he got hit. He looked to get visibly get hurt while Aldo never seemed to get hurt by Edgar. Aldo landed the harder and cleaner shots through out the fight. He landed them were they counted. I am sorry but Edgar landing significantly more leg kicks while being less effective at it does not give him the fight. Aldo completely out landed him in strikes to the head.

The real question everyone should be asking is "Why does Frankie do everything in his power to make sure there are a very small number of exchanges in a fight?" I'll answer that for you, he has to get lucky to hurt his opponents, but every time his opponent hits him, he's taking an ungodly amount of punishment. Aldo was never hurt and never in danger.
