Frankie Edgar will shock the world!
I may be the only one to really believe this, but mark my words!
No...
BJ obviously under trained for this fight because if you compare his fight with Diego versus this one you can see that bj had a unlimited gas tank for the diego fight and for the edger fight he got tired QUICK. So i think a newly motivated BJ is gonna take frankie to the ground and submit him pretty quickly.
Or....
Frankie just worked BJs ass with crisper strikes. You can never judge a fighter on his previous showings bc every fight is different posing new obstacles even if its the same fighters Frankies coming cardio’d and ready to go. I see the same outcome. An Edgar uni after 5 with superior boxing. Also got Florian outstriking Maynards takedowns, Randy gassing the shit outta Toney, and hoping Davis v Diaz is gonna be a WAR!
Frankie was such a HUGE underdog in the first......
and he pulled it off, and yes he did win that fight.BJ just about said as much afterwards, (he was also very gracious in defeat, gotta give him props for that)
But I’m just going to back Frankie here again. In the same vein as Shogun v Machida 2 just way less spectacular. I really love both these fighters though.
I saw an interview with Randy a few months back and he looked pumped and kinda aggressive about this fight with Toney. Kinda like Toney got under his skin with his MMA bashing….Never really seen Randy like that….it should be fun, Randy is all about playing to his strengths and he is gonna wrestle the shit out of Toney….lets just pray he don’t get clipped.
I have Ken Flo all the way here too, He is a class act even though Gray is a tough dude Ken Flo has too much on him…
I bet this card will be on SPIKE
Dana said that he would payback the fans for Anderson Silva’s emberassing performance with a “big card” on free television…. I think this will be the one
I don't think so..
When they signed Toney there was so much talk from Toney’s side about a PPV that I highly doubt they would give his debut away for free. Also, Randy’s salary I believe is so huge that giving this card away free would be a bad business idea moneywise.
this one is going to penn. did anyone see the real bj penn on the last ten seconds of the 5th round in their last meet? bj exploded on him while edgar got a taste of his full potential and had him holding on to bj like a bitch. you could even look at edgars expression while he was holding on to bj like “wow, wtf?” lol. i honestly dont know why bj didnt just do what he does best that night.
