Lukker- wrote: » Agreed. I love Frankie, his top game and wrestling are sweet, but once you can nullify the takedown his striking looks very average. He's got tidy enough boxing in MMA terms, but it has no knockout threat. I think if Conor can shuck off Alvarez who must be 25 lbs heavier than Edgar, Edgar wouldn't have much joy. His only hope would be to somehow weather the storm for 4 rounds and score a takedown on an exhausted McGregor. But I couldn't see him getting rattled on the feet, and I just don't see Edgar walking McGregor down. So I don't think he'd have to exhaust himself like vs Diaz. Much easier to keep distance against a smaller guy.

Frankie is going to smoke guys who are not in the top 5 or up and comers. He's a very good fighter but rangey great strikers who have good takedown defense like McGregor and Holloway are going to keep at range and light him up with their hands. Edgar/Ortega - I'd probably side with Edgar as I'm not sold on Ortega yet. Think Edgar is a good enough grappler to avoid any sneaky stuff and keep Ortega on his back. But Frankie is getting on and smaller guys don't age like Heavyweights, speed and good reflexes are key and they're going to slow soon enough.

The only time he's ever looked bad is against Aldo and Maynard about 10 years ago, i really don't get why people here constantly talk him down and write him off
Fromvert wrote: » He's 36 and took a a lot of damage in those Maynard/Aldo fights. He's on the way down now, if he caught McGregor on the way up 3/4 years ago it would be a contest, now I don't give him a chance. When the Holloway fight happens he takes a beating in that, McGregor would do the same now.

Fromvert wrote: » McGregor/Edgar goes the exact same way as McGregor/Alvarez. Average striker/good wrestler getting lit on fire and struggling to get a takedown as they've been hurt from the first shot he landed.
