Dana just mad he lost his "Rocky" character that is good for marketing. Bendo atm is not as marketable yet as Frankie is thanks to Frankie's epic comeback wins.
ttt
Quit trollin' Dana.
Edgar did more damage? Even his most delusional fans aren't trying to claim that.
There's no way Henderson won that fight. Sorry, really simple. This was a fight that I could watch completely unbiased. In my opinion, the only round that Henderson won was the 2nd. Frankie got way more takedowns, if Henderson even got one. They both landed a lot of shots, both got knocked down throughout. Frankie's takedowns should've won him the fight, bullshit decision. You can't score a fight on damage done. You just can't. If a fighter gets gashed wide open from one combo but wins the rest of the round, should he lose the fight? No, of course not. Judging needs to change. It's really not fair that these guys lose like that.
Rookie Fighter - I think ben dominated. Was actually afraid for a freak decision for Edgar was gonna happen. The right man won. I hate your fighting style Edgar I'm glad you lost your belt <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit. How do you hate a guy whose fighting style is to put on an exciting fight no matter who's in there with him? I guess his fights with maynard put you to sleep, huh? I'm not a fan either way, but give Edgar his due, He was a featherweight fighting, essentially, a welterweight. Fucking jackass.

Thank god you're not a judge.
You think ineffective takedowns should count and damage shouldn't... please get the fuck out of here.
You take a fight to the ground so that you can do damage, not score points and let them up. YOU are whats wrong with this sport.
Reading comprehension, what is that?
I didn't say that damage doesn't count, but to judge a fight purely on damage? That doesn't make sense. There's no doubt Edgar took more damage, but that happened in the 2nd. They judged Frankie for the rest of the fight, on the merit of the second round when he got his nose busted and his eye swelled up. But Henderson won that round anyway. To say he won any round after is crazy. Henderson got knocked down twice after, once in the 3rd (I think) and once in the 5th. He also got taken down and Edgar landed some GNP and nearly took the back multiple times. CompuStrike also has Edgar outstriking Henderson. So please enlighten me as to how the fuck Henderson won? If your answer is "He looked more beat up" then your MMA fan card should be revoked and you should be reverted to the status of UFC Fanboy "Just Bleed". Also, if you REALLY wanna use that as an answer, that explains the 2nd round, now try using the same criteria for the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th...
Clearly we need to fight to the death for title fights.

So explain why you think Henderson won. Should be pretty easy. I said exactly why Edgar should've won, why did Henderson deserve the win?
Poindexter - Edgar out struck and out wrestled Ben.
this but because henderson hits harder thus causing more damage on Edgar's face he won, it was that close.
To the Frankie Supporters - I love Frankie but we gotta get over it.
We've all been dying for judges to finally get a decision right and give it to the guy that we know 'really' won the fight. By that I mean, if you saw that fight and had to pick a winner, not using fight metric stats or the value of a takedown but really had to just pick the better man that night
It just sucks that the fight they chose was this one if you're a Frankie fan
To the Frankie Bashers/Sudden Lifelong Bendo fans -
The reason some of us really feel like Frankie won that fight based on the points system is because of the way they score lots of other fights. If both guys are just standing around having a kickboxing match with no real clearcut advantage in striking, then they always give the round to whoever went for takedowns, even if they failed. Frankie actually got him down for a second or two almost every time so it seemed weird that in such close rounds for striking that Edgar didn't get those rounds automatically for the takedown attempts.
Does that seem cheap? Yeah, and usually we'd all agree, but remember now we're Frankie fans and our guy just lost, so we don't want to hear about that now. We just want to go by precedents that say "A went for more takedowns than B, so unless B rocks him in that round he will lose". You can't stock up damage done early for points in later rounds, see Kampann vs. Sanchez and Penn vs. GSP I.
So Frankie could have won if the fight was judged the way alot of others are, but either way it was a great fight and no problem with the decision since it wasn't that clear cut either way.
Just curious a guy gets 5 of 12 takedowns so he is below .500 in take downs. In one takedown attempt he gets put in a deep guillotine choke and after one takedown he eats a huge upkick that nearly KOs him. The other take downs led to no damage no control no dominate positions no submission attempts and the opponent instantly popping back up. Meanwhile the other fighter is 1/1 on take downs and actually lands some strikes on the ground and has 3 sub attempts one pretty tight one. While on the ground overall the striking is 8 significant and17 total strikes for the guy who got taken down more and 5 significant and 17 total strikes for the guy who got all the takedowns. Who was more effective in the grappling.
I almost feel a little insulted as a fan when Edgar goes for a few takedowns for the sole purpose of scoring a few points. You could tell in the fight he basically went for the takedown and then went back to stand up as soon as it was complete. Lame.
Love you Dana but wtf were you watching?
Puntsized - Edgar should've won a decision, or in the very least it should've been a split decision. There needs to be some more consistency. Multiple decisions tonight were just awful.... Shields and akiyama 30-27?!?
So what ur saying is 2 judges should of scored it different to the other? I don't think u understand a split decision dude
anyone see this?
http://www.urdirt.com/2012/02/27/ufc-144s-frankie-edgar-was-not-robbed-stats/
both the stats and Edgar's face show that Bendo won
Glad Edgar lost, his style sucks to watch.
Henderson won. Shut the fuck up and move on.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one that thought Henderson clearly beat Edgar....
There are some idiots on Twitter...smh...
Dana is afraid the Bendo is going to use the championship platform to spread his Christian message.
Bendo will be in a suit with Dana's hand in his back talking like a puppet pretty soon... a la all other UFC champs.
"playing the game" is what it's called.
Floyd Mayweather is a champ and says what he wants. Say something wrong on Twitter in the UFC - CUT!!!!!
