Ebe5 - How many times did Edgar take him Down to the opposite? How many times did Edgar drop Ben to the opposite? How many times did Edgar catch the kick and counter? Your definition of doing nothing is very vague. He caught the kick, so therefore anything he does after that is a counter/doing something. And correct me if I'm wrong but counters are huge in any sport. He threw multiple punches in bunches after those caught kicks. The first round he took ben down with those same caught kicks. And if catching those kicks really were nothing then why doesn't very fighter catch kicks and hold a opponent up if it's THAT easy? Because its not, Frankie was the man and read those kicks to a T!<br><br><br>Btw no one has disagreed with my previous post.<br><br>I haven't looked at the fight metric but don't get to fooled anybody else notice the retarded flick of a jab that Ben was throwing?<br><br>And for those just jumping on, I bet on Ben and won but I still believe I owe the other dude money. Frankie got that shit. But I did think Ben got the 3rd by a smudge. <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
they landed at about the same rate but the big difference was that benson landed way harder shots. as far as catching kicks go, who cares unless you counter with a big shot and make the guy pay. yeah it's impressive for him to catch the kicks but if you don't counter effectively it's pointless which is why benson kept throwing the kicks.
the first round benson smashed edgars eye. round two he smashed edgars nose. if you wanna discredit fight metric what about those leg kicks that edgar landed that did nothing to benson. benson fought exactly the same from start to finish. the guy was not hurt or even tired by round 5. on the other hand edgar was bullied for most of the fight.
You do not judge a fight on how much blood one guy has on his face
So if you beat the shit out of me but I broke your nose with a huge up kick. I win?
The shit out of who? He landed 1 solid right on Henderson. I like both dudes and it was the correct decision. There's just not even any doubt. Are you even serious?
Jill Laz - IMO Frankie won for sure you do not judge a fight by how much a guy bleeds or how bad his face looks,Plus you have to beat the belt. But it sure works out for UFC they no longer want a stagnant weight class they need to make $ off the classes. Look at GSP people are sick of seeing same old champ he defended to many times there is a big loss of interest in GSPs fights (before he got injured). They also have Jose Aldo dressed up and nowhere to go he beat everyone so far wouldn't it be great if Edgar lost 10lbs and fought him who wouldnt pay to see that or benson vs Pettis. I'm not saying they fixed the fight at all but it sure fits a good business plan to have Edgar lose and than entice him to go down a weight class (just theories :)
Dude, Henderson clearly won that fight. C'mon son.
i thought frankie won, how the hell was this different from what condit did to diaz, one fight the judges score on points , and sometimes they score damage, , mma community better fix the scoring system or get better judges, because its starting to become a problem, every fight

Man are you crazy, he catched alot of kick but he did shit after? Even his corber told him to stop catching the leg and instead go for the counter.
And for those just jumping on, I bet on Ben and won but I still believe I owe the other dude money. Frankie got that shit. But I did think Ben got the 3rd by a smudge.
1. look at the fight metric
2. if you feel that strongly, give the dude his money
time traveling 12er - It was kind of pathetic to see Frankie losing and resorting to pointless late round take downs that didn't do anything to cheap his way to a win.

I really have to watch it again without emotion. I totally see that benson was stronger that's a fact look at Frankie's face but, I thought once Frankie caught a kick he got in points. You know how it is sometimes you view a fight without really seeing it, you may be right we'll see. Oh by the way I'm a chick not a dude lol :) I'm still learning but I have been watching for years I never miss a fight (I'm going to 145 ;)

If you kick a dude and he catches it, one dude got a power kick to the body, and one dude got his leg held and balance impeded for a second. Who would you rather be?
