I hope Kongo doesn't try to GnP Hunt because that will be a very fun fight to watch if they keep it on the feet.
I think Edgar beats Henderson by stopping him in the later rounds or by decision.
I'm picking Jackson but I think Bader has a good shot at beating rampage especially if passive rampage comes out again.

I guess cause the main event will be so long, but I'm not sure.....?? If my time zones are right, they're going to be fighting early in the AM over in Japan. Undercards will probably start @ 6 or 7am over there.

2 extra fights on the ppv because nobody is paying to see Frankie Edgar do the mosquito attack

Think Showtime gets a rematch with Guida with a win?

That's my pick for FOTN

But you can't call Edgar a mosquito after KOing Maynard. I've always been a FE doubter/hater, but dude is skilled and is quietly putting together the resume for GOAT LW.

Agreed. Hopefully old Rampage will be back being that he's fighting in Japan

Also rooting for Hioki and Gomi

I would have never guessed Frankie could KO Maynard. If he truly has that knockout power which I thought I would never associate with Edgar he could go down as one of the best lightweights of all time.

A rematch really makes no sense what so ever at this point

He really doesn't have any weaknesses and is a great all-around fighter. Has the best boxing in the LW division (and maybe all of tUFC....at least up there with guys like JDS), he's a great wrestler, excellent cardio, and we all know about his heart.

Fighting Maynard 3 times has kinda slowed up his all-time standings imo, but if he can defend that belt a couple more times....I think there will be no question about Frankie surpassing guys like BJ and Gomi as the LW GOAT.

You've got a good point. The progress of his legacy has really been held up having to fight BJ and Maynard multiple times. IMO he still needs a few more wins to be up there with BJ or Gomi. BJs legacy has been built a lot on smoke in mirrors. He's always been a great fighter, but has consistently be inconsistent. Gomis run in the mid 2000s is one of the greatest of all times. It ranks amongst Fedors, Chucks, and Wanderleis great runs.
