Edgar is better than anyone Aldo has ever faced. Let's see how he stacks up against an elite LW.

I still got Aldo winning though.

Dana paying a visit to Koch on his undisclosed injury :youngsabo:

Having said that, it is a much more exciting fight.

Absolutely this makes it a better fight. I was pissed at first when i saw the news because i immediately thought of my man Jung Chan Sung(TKZ) :snoop:

But apparently my dude is hurt or some shyt :why:


Oh well..this makes that card that much better :obama:

Man this shyt is getting out of hand. shyt looking like the WWE more and more
Dana should just put a muzzle on when he knows a situation is potentially subject to change.Could've sworn he said edgar would need a couple of fights before getting aldo now low and behold hes getting aldo anyway..This sort of shotgun style of match fixing doesnt really make me excited at all.There was a time I wanted this fight (last year) but the way it has happened now makes me feel :shaq2: about it
I've been saying it since this whole thing started off, that Dana needs to get the fukk off of twitter and actually be the fukkin president and shut the fukk up. Throwing one of your most popular employees under the bus every week is doing more harm then good.

Hes such a fukkboy
Its counter-productive especially when they are going to have to sell his fight with belfort next month.However there is a method to his madness.Use jones as the scapegoat and the angry fans fuelled by envy and hatred (anyway) will direct their ire at him.Despite the fact the reall culprits for that whole fiasco is zuffa..

I don't like this at all. Frankie just lost a title fight but Aldo is gonna eat his legs with kicks Bendo got away from using them Aldo will punish the legs.

Who do you propose Aldo fight, then?

Korean Zombie is out with an injury. Outside of that, Edgar was the best choice.

How does that make sense considering he lost his last two fights?

That division is knee deep and they honestly couldn't find anyone else? Duck tales i tell you DUCK TALES!!!

Mendes has one win since Aldo beat him and has law issues with his arrest
Zombie injured
Ross Pearson lost his last fight and now is going back to lightweight to fight sotripolous as coaches on ultimate fighter australia vs uk
Denis Siver is booked

No one else in the division that would give Aldo a run..Edgar would ,and his name alone will get more buyrates than Koch would of done


yes he lost his last two..but fukk it

yeah he said that but as was said, everyone is hurt or recovering from Surgery. There really is no other option and this is the best fight possible. Plus they do it BIG when they go to Brazil.

Again like firemanBk said, who should fight Aldo then (if not Edgar)? With the options available, this was by far the best one.

So the #1 FW/ #4 P4P is facing off against the 2nd best fighter in probably the deepest division in MMA and people are complaining?

Finally, Frankie's last two loses were really close fights, with most people (including reputable MMA sites) having him winning his latest outing.
