They seem to be putting the young guns against the mid-thirties legends more lately. 

I'm not sure Yair is ready for that wrestling. He'll probably have to stop Edgar to win. Tough task.

That's a tough fight for Rodriguez, Edgar's wrestling may be what makes the difference.

Pretty stacked main card on this one now....wonder how many of those fights will drop!

They push Rodrigues fast!

Considering how slow they are to give big fight to Ortega!

Of course Rodrigues is a fan favorite (as Cirkunov and Nganou)


Winner of this fight??? Edgard via great chin!

...Ortega's been injured and has less UFC fights than Rodriguez as it is.

Anyway, IDK what to think about this one. Love both guys, don't want to see either lose, feels like kind of "too big" a step up for Yair after his last 2 fights were probably steps down from Fili. Could be a great fight though.

Edgar is the #3 Featherweight in the world arguably #2 imo. Yair isn't ready for this.

So the guy that won a 25 minute split decision over Alex Caceres in August (2nd split win over mid to low level guy) is going to beat Frankie Edgar?It's possible, but unlikely imo.I think Edgar is better standing and on the ground.I really like Yair,but his abilities are getting blown out of proportion imo.I think Edgar dominates.I don't like this match up at all as far as making sense,but it is a fun fight.

Yeah, style's make fights, don't act like this is some shut out for comeback frankie

Btw, it's 70-30 so I guess picking Yair isn't that dumb

I say it's possible Yair wins,but unlikely imo,and you say Yair is going to hurt him bad,and i'm the one acting like it's some easy shutout win and any other pick is dumb?I didn't say it was some shutout for sure win and I didn't indicate picking Yair was dumb.I just said my opinion on the fight,and that I think people are getting a little crazy about Yair.

That is implying it's a dumb pick, sorry your brain couldn't recognize your ****-eating reply.

Nah. No TKO for Frankie. In a five-rounder, maybe. He has the style to make something happen late. But I think in fifteen minutes, Yair is good enough to at least survive. Thinking Edgar takes a comfortable UD.

Edgar should walk away with this. 

Anyone think Frankie would be able to get down to Bantamweight if he wanted?
