I just don't think Henderson will be able to get a hold of Edgar, I may change my mind though, got a while before this fight.

End of the line.

Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I think it was clear last night that it was much easier than expected to rock Henderson.
If you're a Hendo fan, I'm sorry, but it Clay Guida can rock him, you know Frankie will tear him apart.
Edgar is a better striker, he is more accurate, faster on the feet and packs more power. Unless Hendo can hump him on the cage for 25 minutes like he did Guida for 15, he's not winning this fight. I don't think he will be able to get a hold of Edgar and will eventually get TKO'd like Maynard did.

I see Hendo taking this by decision just because Edgar is tough as nails.
I don't think Edgar can take Hendo down and I have high hopes in Hendo's stand up.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

I like Frankie Edgar, and have picked him to win against BJ Penn and Gray Maynard every time.. actually, the only fight that I ever picked against Frankie Edgar, was when he was fighting Tyson Griffin, because I didn't know who Egar was at the time, and I knew Griffin as the only man to ever beat (and knock out) Urijah Faber at the time. After his fight against Griffin, I said he was going to be a UFC lightweight champion in the future, and I was right. Edgar's knows how to use his smaller stature and speed to his advantage, and he just gets better in every fight.

With that being said, I have to pick from my heart. Ben Henderson is also improving in every fight, and his wrestling and takedown defense is just outstanding! Ben Henderson is a lot like Gray Maynard, but just a bit better. The thing is, Henderson learns from his mistakes and improves upon his flaws, which is what champions do. Frankie does that as well, and I'm sure they both will be studying each other immensely.

So, I'm going to have to go with Ben Henderson via a 5 round war.

I think Edgars speed, boxing, and takedown defense will be the deciding factors.  But I could see it going either way. 

 I think it's awesome that the fight is going to be in Japan.

I think this fight will solidify Frankie as the Greatest Lightweight of All-Time if he wins...this coming from a huge BJ Penn fan! I'm pretty torn when I look at the fight which way I'm gonna pick right now

I think if Frankie beats Bendo and then beats Melendez you could make a strong case for him as being the best lw of all time.

Melendez will be his last true test to me if he gets by Bendo...don't see anyone else other then possibly Cerrone or maybe Barboza giving him problems, because oftheir length...interesting enough though Edgar's 5'6" with a 72" reach and Cerrone is 6' with a 73" reach...Barboza is 5'11" with a 75" reach

Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong Decision  

Cerrone vs Edgar would be insane!! I think Cerrone is a couple wins away from a title shot so it's possible. Frankie has such a 2012 coming up. He's got the toughest road ahead of any champion. If he gets by Gil and Bendo which I think he will and Cerrone keeps dominating people that will be a very tough pick for me.

Cerrone could never get Bendo's number, so i don't knwo that he could Edgar or Melendez' . He has looked nasty lately but i don't think he's the best in the world

Edgar - Round 4 KO.  Hendo is going to run around for a while and land some early shots, but Edgar is going to land the hay-maker.
