PBP UFC 240 Holloway vs Edgar: Main Card PBP Discussion - 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT

[Mad Monk]

Ortega is bigger, stronger, hits harder, and has a better chin than Edgar too and look what happened to him.

Ortega can’t wrestle
That’s the difference

Damn. Frankie looked old in that post fight interview

He's old

 

[Carniusss]

He lost this fight but you are ray Charles if you think he didn’t beat Bendo

Had him winning against Ben obviously but it’s his own fault for getting too used to coasting.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

Volkanovski appears to be a future commentator. Looks natural with the Mic

 

[Ken Fresno]

@Soul On Ice @FrontNakedChoke @Frank McEdgar

Edit: @fortheo lol

 

[Kona Bear]

Women snatched the Main Event tonight.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I'm glad they're pushing Volk

 

[NulDertig030]

Is that big beast Max's woman?

She is the white version of black beast

 

[Venom]

volkanovski is a beast!@!!

 

[BowserJr]

Only got to see the 5th round

Did Edgar have any takedowns or solid attempts?

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Ortega can’t wrestle
That’s the difference

Frankie Edgar can lol

 

[Doctor Lenovo]

Volk destroys Max
He’s bigger
Stronger
Hits harder
Has a better chin
Than Edgar

I don’t want to hear anyone talk about a McGregor rematch. DUDE blocks shots with his face

I have to somehow agree. I can definitely see Volkanovski overpowering Max and pinning him to the cage for a unanimous decision.

Frankie looked slow, predictable essentially, Frankie looked like the typical WMMA fighter. Max should have finished this fight.

Max has gaping holes with his striking and strength. Somebody in his camp needs to realize this and fix it. It is clear to me that the size disadvantage wasn't the only reason Poirier beat him. There was also a skill disadvantage.

For example, were are the oblique kicks to the knee of a smaller fighter? This is how Jon Jones stops opponents from getting inside the pocket, and sets them up for a high-kick. Where are the TD attempts to confuse the opponent? Where are the power shots?

Max has a lot of things to fix.

If edgar was a little taller he'd be fw & lw champ

Seriously. Dude was LW champ, now he’s too small for FW. Ridiculous.

Anik, "Since you dominated Aldo"...

These fucking shills, lol

 

[Gambit MMA]

frankie did all he could, hes just too old for fights like that against elite fighters

idk whats next for him. maybe he can fight KZ since that fight never happened. or maybe he can try to avenge that ortega loss

 

[pride_is_back]

I wasted 3 hours of my life...

 

[Soul On Ice]

@Soul On Ice @FrontNakedChoke @Frank McEdgar

Salute

Hope you got rich, cuzzy

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

damn, never been a frankie fan but have always respected the guy's toughness and heart. he really doesn't wear damage well, and he should retire
he's got a family to raise at this point

 

[Fight To Win]

He's old

37 is pretty damn old at the smaller weights where they get hit so often in each fight, longer fights, faster, more technical arguably , than the heavyweights who often get sparked out with one punch inside fifteen minutes and fight well past forty on average without a problem.

 

[Pakman]

Listening to Volk right now, I kind of like his chances. In all reality, Volk is like the next variation of a Frankie Edgar type of fighter. He has better kicks and Max literally checked 0 from Frankie, he carries more power, and has the cardio to go.

Not sure he can handle when Max pours it on honestly, not sure many can at 145, but, that is gonna be another great fight.
