MMA Live brings in a couple of winners from UFC 136, lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and middleweight contender Chael Sonnen.
Edgar is a class act and I’m baffled when I see people hating on him. People bashed him when he was just sitting quietly analyzing his last fight, albeit surrounded by obnoxious friends and family, in a video leading up to this most recent fight. I love watching his fights, he was a warrior spirit and an iron will. But it seems like the guys that “never” get knocked out early in their careers eventually get caught and never regain that granite chin. Hopefully he keeps evolving, including shoring up his D and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the Edgar-Aldo fight. It’s interesting because Aldo seems to be disadvantaged by making such a big weight cut and Edgar is relatively small for his division. So, does Aldo go up a division? Edgar go down a division? Or do they fight at a catch-weight in the middle?
oops, *has a warrior spirit, not was.
I love how lately Chael just dips out on interviews without saying the standard “thanks for having me” line
If you don’t like Frankie then you got a big dump in ya pants!
Chael tap tap Sonnen said his training partner, Okami would beat Anderson Silva. Now he sais Anderson Silva fights easy fights?
Intelligent, well spoken, humble and hungry. I’m sold. Look….I gotta come clean here, I been hatin on Franky for a while cuz he pitter pattered the belt away from BJ (one of my all time favorite fighters)but I can see now he did what he had to do. He did that interview with a gnarly ass shiner, didn’t wear no shades, willingly and openly admitted Gray hurt him multiple times….what’s not to love? The fact that he was able to close the trilogy with a finish is icing on the cake.
Edgar is good but no where near top 2 p4p i would def rank somewhere in the top 8, no way is he ahead of GSP or Aldo maybe even BJ should still be ranked higher, because BJ has conquered 2 divisions in the past and has fought at 185 and 205, considering what p4p means that is.
oh and Kenny Florian sucks dick
these guys will fight again to me the belt is split both guys won once and a draw I need a fourth fight not that I don’t like franki because I do. Just want to see it again. sort of like the anderson silva vitor belfort fight. Got to see it again.
Oh and kenny florian does suck dick I agree but he would make a good ref or judge I think he’s good for the sport.
ANderson always ducks everyone, specially Sonnen when he made him tap via penile gag…and Okami, when he KTFO him.
4th Fight ? You’re an idiot or you’re crazy.
No need for a 4th fight when the last 2 is almost identical but with Maynard losing in the 4th Round.
Good interview.
“Your chin is a huge weapon…” that don’t make good sense. Edgar is a bad mofo.
ScrubJONES says BJ should be ranked higher. WOW dude, they’re really are top notch idiots in this world! FRANKIE BEAT HIM TWICE YOU LOSER!!! Sounds like you need a job on the coach’s polls in college football, so you can “VOTE” on who should play for the Championship…
I’d like to put some of these tough “commenters” in a room with any of these fighters one on one and see who’s dick gets sucked!
