Edgar got more takedowns and in the later rounds how much dmg did Henderson do? Edgar also dropped him in the 5th. Edgar was landing more shots.

What are you talking about? Edgar may have landed but he did NO damage. He hot beat up, that's it.



I can see that argument, I thought Edgar did a good job of pushing the pace and landing more strikes. He also had more takedowns. I don't disagree with the dec. I thought it was a close fight.

I think Frankie outscored him, but this is MMA and not boxing so I am ok with the decision. I would not have been outraged if it had gone the other way.

that's why I have no problem with Henderson winning. I had Edgar winning but I can see why they went Hendersons way.

Sadly, this is how many MMA fans feel, and is why MMA is not a sport.

MMA is a sport It's getting to be a mainstream sport being put on fox. It's getting bigger and bigger. That Jousting show on history is a sport.

That's why multiple people are saying Edgar won that fight and people saying they wouldn't have argued if Edgar won that fight

I like MMA, but when a fan's main judging criteria is "damage" which can best be defined as (strikes) * (how much more you like a fighter than his opponent) it may as well be professional wrestling.

Well then Tom, how do you feel about Bendo having the best strikes and sub attempt?

Just like anyone who reads these MMA threads sees your MMA knowledge could fit inside a thimble?
