bj penn looks depressed
in a few months no one will remember frankie edgar was even champ. sucks to be him indeed
Edgar will win more clearly.
BJ wins in boston and Kenny calls him out in hometown
No one should be surprised at this stage.
Its the 'you were never meant to be champ' clause. Its in all the contracts.
Tim Sylvia, Matt Serra, and now Edgar.
To be the champ you have to beat the champ....twice if he is a poster boy.
FingerorMoon..... No one should be surprised at this stage.

take the finger out of your ass...the first fight could have gone both ways and to say Frankie won all five rounds, the fucking judge was smoking camel shit and couldn't see strait...Retard..
Time for BJ to get his belt back. Can't wait!!
lmao @ donkey' post
sickdarce - That sorta says alot about what the UFC thinks of the new champ Frankie Edgar.What it says is that it was a very close fight, some even scoring it for BJ. This is similar to Shogun vs Machida 1 (albeit not THAT blatant). If Frankie beat BJ the way BJ has beat his previous opponents, then there would be no rematch.
Immediate rematch. Sucks to be Edgar.

This.
Is the championship fight a 48-47 type of fight?
Check.
Is the champion a multiple-time champion, with either a long run, multiple defenses or mutliple belts?
Check.
conclusion: Immediate rematch.

Serra was supposed to fight Hughes and not GSP so you really shouldn't lump him in there.

Ironically, this also applies to Shogun/Machida... Shogun lost a super close decision and was a highly regarded champion of another organization.
