Frankie Edgar vs. Korean Zombie Targeted For UFC 229 in October

[Just Creed]

KZ by ko methinks, although Frankie always seems to surprise me

 

[dc007]

Great fight! I think Edgar has more tools but KZ is a tough SOB so he could win it but I'm picking Frankie.

 

[The_Renaissance]

I like it, could go either way and about time it happened. I think Edgar might be broken to be honest, I could see Zombie clipping him.

My favourite thing about this thread is everyone seems to like KZ

It's impossible not to like KZ

 

[Ken Fresno]

Lol, Frankie's gonna Frankie Edgar him=Outclass him

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Size, striking, chin, ground game. It's a tough fight for Frankie. I don't think he'll be able to control Jung on the ground, and I think he's at a disadvantage on the feet.

That being said, Frankie definitely can win. Frankie's my favourite of all time, but I love me some Korean Zombie too. Wish they were fighting other ppl

Disagree with Striking, and Grappling.

His fight with Poirier is one of the greatest MMA fights of all time

I hope KZ wins, but I think Edgar by decision.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Explain how he doesn't

 

[Brodels]

Hell yeah great matchup

 

[sonhow]

I hope KZ wins a fricking war but picked Edgar in the poll due to technical advantages.

Nah, bro, KZ got a twister on one of the worst fighters in UFC history.

Frankie, whom is impossible to sub, has no chance.

 

[Pakman]

Frankie is gonna GnP KZ to the win.

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

It's so UFC to make a fight 5 years after both their prime.

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

KZ needs space to work. Frankie smothers him. Frankie by so boring, half the audience falls asleep.

 

[drbolony]

Sexy fight. Hard to pick imo. I'll go KZ for funsies. Really wonder what Frankie can do at BW.

 

[chrisdiaz]

Is it just me or are they annoucing fights WAY too far out? Nunes vs Cybord in 6 months? Sounds like its asking for trouble.

This isnt too bad but a 3 month annoucement seems like the new norm.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Frankie is better than him everywhere. Don't even say KZ is better than him on the ground because he got one fucking submission on a guy that no one remembers. Frankie's striking is much more technical, and fast.

 

[Andre Xiong]

Why tf does everyone think KZ is gonna win? Please explain, am I missing something?

His most recent losses are prime champion Aldo otherwise 8 years ago when WEC was stil a thing

He is very hard to beat Even if he’s never truly favored (just as I’m not favoring him over Edgar on paper but I’m rooting for him)

Good matchup, due to the layoff I would have preferred Chad Mendes first
