Unbelievable fight. Even a boxing fan could appreciate that. Love watching Frankie Edgar fight. His footwork and boxing is at an elevated level for an MMA fighter. Maynard gave him all he could handle though. Great fight.

yeah really enjoyed it, Edgar's got great boxing skills, he show'd great heart to survive the first then looked brand new in the second
Just saw it, incredible fight! Can't wait for the rematch, hoping it makes UFC 129, April 30th. Imagine Edgar vs Maynard III, GSP vs Shields, and Couture vs Machida! That'd be a stacked fucking card!
I was pretty suprised that Gray didn't have enough gas in the tank to put more pressure. Needless to say I had it a draw as well with Gray getting 10-8 for the 1st and 10-9 in the 3rd. I think we are seeing another evolution of MMA with Frankie's movement and striking.
very exciting indeed. I thought edgar was a goner in the first round.:)
How did you guys score it?
I had Edgar a 48-46 winner. I gave Gray a 10-8 for the 1st but gave Edgar the last 4. I thought Edgar won the 1st 4 mins of the 3rd round with getting in and out and landing clean shots. The takedown in the last minute wasn't enough to give him the round IMO. The 5th was very close though.
I had it 4-1 for Edgar, with the first being a 10-8 as well. But it was close enough that the split draw didn't upset me.
I think Edgar may be my latest favourite fighter.
Back when I saw him fight Maynard first I thought he'd move to the WEC and dominate there, but when I saw him against Sherk I was sooo impressed.
There not having a rematch yet, Dana said Edgar will fight Pettis next.Quote:

You got a link for this? Last I read Dana had said that Pettis would have to wait b/c Gray and Frankie were going to rematch.Quote:

But I read yesterday that Edgar's going to be out for like six months with a fucked up nose, so maybe they'll coach TUF and fight in July.
