frankie edgar is cool but where does he go from here? He seems too stubborn to give 135 a crack and can't hang with the top two guys at 145. Just keep kicking the poo poo out of #4-10?

I think Khabib Khabib's him, even with a full camp and proper weight cut.

But I think he has some loving sick matches against a lot of good 155ers and wins a bunch of them in cool ways.

I'd really like to think he'd be too elusive for Khabib to fully khabib him, but I guess we were going to see Max vs a high level wrestler in frankie but that didn't happen. Max is a gargantuan 145er and I think he'd be a very natural fit at 155. I also think that he thinks he can take khabib which is one of the reasons (paycheque not withstanding) that he was so eager to fight him. Will have settle for Max v Ortega.

There are a bunch of sick fights for Max at 155, I'd love to see him fight basically anyone in the top 8. I really do think going up a weight is huge change for fighters, especially after the success of Poirier and RDA.

If you ask Ali Abdelaziz, Khabib will fight Conor, Dustin, or GSP.

If you ask Khabib, he'll fight anyone.

You guys... I'm starting to think Ali might be a little shifty.

Only when I breathe.
i wish Frankie would have dropped down to 135 immediately after the second Aldo fight. i think he could have easily dominated that division for at least a couple of years, as shown by the faber fight. but if the guy doesn't want to cut any weight and would rather fight bigger guys than him all his life then all the more power to him i guess

I dont think beating faber meant that frankie would dominate at 135.

I mean. I would have rather seen him against dom, tj and cody than like stephens, rodriguez and swanson. But he had some cool fights at 145 over that period and tgere are still interesting matchups for him there. I dont imagine he'd be a dominant champ anywhere though

of course they would. the ideal solution is that you take proper supplements from a chemist instead of horse poo poo that comes in a huge bucket with clip art lightning bolts and stuff on ti

Sure he was innocent

and at no point in time did some crony of his team go "hang on my cousin owns a pharmacy we can say we got the poo poo from him and it was tainted" and then a few other Brazilian fighters jumped on the train as well by going "uhhhh Yeah I got my stuff from that pharmacy as well!"

They would prefer it if fighters didn't take supplements, because they are not necessary. If you take supplements, you take the risk, and tainted supplements is only a mitigating factor that might knock down your suspension the first time.

Unironically true. Those companies don't give a drat if you don't actually use their product, and they aren't going to hurt the random fans who are swayed by marketing.

Take their sponsorship money, smile for the camera, and then don't use it.
