    This is a great fight. Is that 2 rounds to Edgar? I think Stephens needs a stoppage.

    Wow, what a response. Stephens gassed hard after the knockdown and couldn't follow up.

    Frankie probably has the most resolve of any fighter in the business. A real life Rocky. That takedown was pure class.

    Very much a pure heart fighter. I love him. That takedown reminded me of the 2nd Maynard fight when he pulled out all the stops to draw the fight.

    After the KD kick, Stephens did nothing, big looping that weren't following through. Like he was swimming

    Crazy round there, Frankie did well there to weather that. Great kick by Stephens, the knee afterwards was potentially illegal would need a replay. Lets go round 3!

    Yep, I guess that was the thinking. Hoping for a cracker and that yanks with a few beers on board will buy the PPV spur of the moment after it.

    I absolutely love Frankie. Giving that as 30-27 in my books but the judges will go 29-28. Great fight.


    I think he needs to go down to 135. He's a tiny FW, and I think at 135 he could tune Cruz up.

    Reckon Frankie has won it, but my god dunno how he came back from the kick with the knee follow up.
    Fair play to him

    How can any human with a functioning heart not love Frankie Edgar. Brilliant spirit.

    Great fight. Time to reheat the left over chicken balls from earlier.
