UFC 156: Aldo vs. Edgar

[Old Scratch]

Frankie must win the next 3 rounds.

 

[Old Scratch]

I think Frankie won that round but not enough to get the nod against a non-White, non-Asian fighter.

 

[Liverlips]

I like what I see in the third ... Aldo is gassing bad.

 

[Old Scratch]

Frankie definitely won that round, should be 2-2 but judges probably have it all 4 Aldo.

 

[Liverlips]

2-2 going into the 5th ... Frankie looking good.

 

[Soccer&track]

Adelaide Byrd is one of the judges - she is a black racist who always screws white fighters.

I didn't know Byrd judged MMA too...can't stand her.

 

[Old Scratch]

Should be 3-2 Frankie, but I'd bet a lot at least one scorecard will read 49-46 Aldo, lol.

 

[Liverlips]

I got Frankie 3-2!

 

[Old Scratch]

Please tell me how Aldo won the last two rounds, yet he had 2 judges score it 49-46.

 

[Liverlips]

Yeah, Frankie got screwed again.

Too bad he didn't have a little more power for the KOs.

 

[Liverlips]

Gotta think all these 5 round wars are taking their toll on Frankie too.

How'd she get that job? Wait, you don't even need to answer that.

Byrd is the biggest racist around. She scored the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight in favor of Hopkins even though he didn't win more than 2 rounds.

I missed the whole card. I had to work Saturday night (catch-up stuff). Good wins for Maia, Dunham & Vallie-Flagg. As for Frankie, he needs a good victory to halt this 3 fight loss-streak...irregardless of whether he was ripped off or not.

 

[geradarys]

Maia is the beast at 170, I hope he gets a title shot soon.

Late responding to this thread, but haven't been here in a while. I've become much more knowledgeable about MMA and I noticed something relevant here.

Edger is my favorite fighter and I watched him get screwed in the 2nd fight against Henderson. Henderson barely beat Edger to take the belt in the 1st fight IMO. In the 2nd fight Edger has Henderson on the ground for about 3 mins. In a dominant position (if no rules applied and eye gouging etc. was allowed in a real life or death fight, you could take a guy out on the ground) you should be rewarded heavily for this.

One of the judges who voted for Henderson admitted that he actually thought Edger had a slight edge in the fight, but "didn't do enough to take the belt back" (can you say judicial misconduct). Well, how did Henderson get it from Edger in the 1st place then?

You ask how this is relevent now? Edger dropped from 3rd I believe in the pound for pound rankings to 8th after his 1st loss. Now Anderson Silva has had a longer tenure of dominance and was ranked all the way at 1st, but he only drops 2 spots to 3rd in the pound for pound rankings after a white man takes away his belt when Edger drops 5?

Bottom Line: Edger should still be lightweight champ!

In the Aldo fight, Edger showed he equaled Aldo in quickness, agility and strike output, but I thought Aldo wins this fight by a point based on the damage with significant strikes. Do you guys agree?
