UFC 144 Edgar-Henderson 2/25/12

I'll be honest, I watched the fight again this morning just to see if I was too tired, drunk or stupid last night. And in the clarity of morning, I scored it 5-0 for Edgar. I honestly didn't see a round that Henderson deserved.

In my opinion the up-kick that shattered Edgar's nose didn't win the round for him.

 

I scored it 4-1 Edgar. I gave round 2 to Henderson only because he almost knocked Frankie out. Judges scoring it 4-1 for Henderson is a joke a really really bad joke I don't get why Dana White who always tries to correct the scoring problems and contreversies doesn't just do an immidiate rematch? He wants Pettis Henderson next and wants Frankie to move down to 145. What the fuck man? Frankie is all heart and guts, if anybody doesn't deserve to be screwed like that it's him. Dana was giving Diaz a rematch when he clearly was beaten by Condit but Frankie doesn't get one ? Bullshit. I guess he only takes care of the ones that are marketable to him. And one last thing about the decision , the thing that bugged me a lot was the fact that Henderson right after the fight and before the decision was announced had this cocky grin on his face like he thought he won 5-0 easily.

 

What Dana wants, Dana gets.

 

Can't believe the next UFC pay per view is in 2 months! :say:

 

Dana is a cunt, I know it goes without saying, but sometimes it needs saying ::

And how exactly is Bendo more marketable than Edgar? I mean there's nothing particularly wrong with Bendo, but it's hard not to like Edgar, and I think he's one of the most well rounded and exciting fighters in the game. His fights are always fun to watch.

 

Maybe lw is stacked enough, and he wants more big names at fw?

 

Yeah or maybe the rounds were close enough that a win for Henderson is by no means a robbery. The way White was jizzing over how exciting Edgar always is before the fight makes it hard for me to think he interfered with the outcome. In general I have to say that there are a lot of funny decisions were the seemingly more marketable fighter doesnÄt get the nod, that I think the UFC isn't that shady with the scoring, sometimes those judges are just crazy.

 

Yep, that's a possibility. There are many awful decisions in MMA with no clear agenda. I think most of the judges are just crap.

 

Yep, absolutely no one is running around screaming for Aldo-Hioki...

But Edgar- Aldo at 145 is a big fight especially considering the majority of fans probably feel like Edgar is still the best LW in the world. I know I do.

 

If I was Frankie, I would tell Dana I will drop to 145 for an immediate title match with Aldo. When I win, I get an immediate title shot at 155. When I win I get to hold both belts and defend them. See how Dana reacts to that.

I had it Frankie 4-1. I too gave Ben the 2nd.

 

Well, I think Edgar did a great job, but it was so back and forth. I would have picked Benson to win as well as Hunt, but there's no way I would have picked Boetsch to beat Okami. Even before the fight, I was saying, "Poor Boetsch, he gets matched really tough!"

I wouldn't have picked Pettis to stop Joe Lauzon like that although I would have said probably a decision, and the Issei Tamura fight was also a shocker. He looked like crap with no defense whatsoever and then he landed that right hand.

I would have picked Jackson to beat Bader. How wrong I would have been!

 

I don't know what the fuck fight you guys watched. Frankie lost clear as day. You need to stop listening to Joe Rogan. Henderson did ALL the damage, was close to finishing twice. The decision was perfect.

 

:: I guess a guy needs a KO to win a round on your card eh?

 

Actually if you listen to Rogan and Goldberg you would lean towards Henderson.

 

Rogan was nut hugging the shit out of Edgar.

It was clear who won IMO. The decision was fair.

 

No, keep in mind Frankie put Henderson on his back and kept him there for 45 seconds after winning the rest of the round prior to the kick. It's just my opinion that the up kick shouldn't erase the rest of the round. Call it 10-10 if you like.

 

This

 

Rogan was creaming his panties over Edgar. It's not worth debating though, the right guy won.

 

You have a mancrush on Bendo:limp:

 

I'd jello wrestle him.

 

Hmmm. Probably not PPV worthy but definitely a Fuel main event.

 

:hammert:

 

Jarhead, Edgar is getting his rematch with Henderson. Just thought I'd let you know. I guess they just keep giving Frankie "The rematch" Edgar rematches until he can win legit.

 

Dude, what could you have against Frankie? The guy brings it everytime, fights guys naturally bigger than him, and is really just a cool guy. I hate you Z. Now I hate Ben henderson because of you. Damn you Z. DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!issed:

 

I like Edgar. I just didn't think he won this fight. Or the first BJ fight, or the second Maynard fight.

Are you a fan of Jersey Shore?
