Not saying it's going to happen, but it would actually be a great fight at 135 if Edgar was willing to move down. Who would you guys have in that?
They match up pretty similarly in terms of their stature and backgrounds. With that said, Edgar HAS beaten a lot of better and bigger guys. How do you think it would go? I think Edgar could take TJ down and keep him there in dominant top control.Inb4 a bunch of people say Frankie destroys him because they don't understand how to match fighters up realistically.

What do you think happens in the Aldo Holloway fight? I'm rooting for Holloway just because I want to see the Frankie vs Holloway fight. I just don't see where Frankie goes besides BW if Holloway loses. TJ just came to mind because I know he wants an opponent and Frankie WOULD be an awesome interim title fight IMO. I know the timing won't allow that to happen since Frankie still wants to see how things play out at FW.I'd love to see Frankie go down to 135 if Aldo beats Holloway.
Frankie vs TJ, Dom, or Cody would be awesome.

lol but he would...........
Frankie does destroy him though ?Inb4 a bunch of people say Frankie destroys him because they don't understand how to match fighters up realistically.
I mean there really would be no shame in losing to Frankie, an all time great...Don't throw that out there. Dilly is dumb enough to take it. I'm sorry Dilly is one of my favorite fighters right now but he has the worst representation.
That's the problem. This is a sport for you and a business for him.I mean there really would be no shame in losing to Frankie, an all time great...

Like boxers love to go on about, there is levels even in MMA and Frankie is on another level
Well he's willing to fight DJ, so obviously he isn't set on only fighting Garbrandt.That's the problem. This is a sport for you and a business for him.
It is not in his best interests to take a fight against anyone except Garbrandt. There is no legitimate reason for him to take another fight unless the UFC is going to throw 7 figures his way. And they aren't.
I'd be pretty excited for Edgar vs Max but I'm picking Aldo to win the striking battle.What do you think happens in the Aldo Holloway fight?

You missed my point. It's stupid to offer to fight Johnson as well.Well he's willing to fight DJ, so obviously he isn't set on only fighting Garbrandt.
Edgar isn't even really bigger than DJ, and if he is, it's not by much. I definitely don't think you can say that would be the difference in the matchup. I DO think Frankie being used to fighting bigger competition could be a factor though. He knows he can time strikes of longer opponents, take punches of more powerful guys, and take them down. He's also fought a lot of better competition. Confidence would be on his side, which IS a factor.
He isn't "on another level" in comparison to TJ. I'm not saying he wouldn't beat TJ, but he wouldn't walk through him like you (and many others) want to believe.
As they always say - styles make fights and stylistically speaking, this is a very good match up that could go either way. TJ is better than both Faber and Mendes (Mendes does better in a rematch by the way).
TJ can definitely win this. I'm not going to get into any details about it because it'd just be a waste of time, but this is nobealk in the park for Edgar. I'm still waiting for someone to explain why they believe Frankie definitely wins.
Inb4 some fool(s) mention Edgar being bigger and that being part of the reason why he'd win.
