I don't think Frankie will be the bigger man, he just wont be the smaller man
Edgar is 156/157 lbs and Aldo is 170 lbs. What the fuck are you talking about ???

I don't think Frankie is a great boxer, either
but its time to face the facts that a leg is longer than an arm
Whats he lacking...except maybe a little economy of motion?

Aldo. i mean, by far. Frankie does not have some of the best stand up in mma, thats way overboard. posting a ko of maynard does not prove your point.
frankie uses decent head movement and lots of feints, but he basically lost the standup to maynard in the majority of their last fights until maynard gassed himself out going for the finish.
aldo has been dominant in the stand up versus just about every opponent he has faced.
Your right I forgot Frankie hardly cuts...so one again he is facing a bigger stronger more athletic guy who has good rd defense and kicked..seems like another loss consider how it went last time. And this time the guy has better hands too.
Come on P Dog.
What you are saying here is that boxing fans have been living in denial for years, and its time they realized the painfully obvious fact that a "leg is longer than an arm"
No friggin way. I refuse to believe it man. Let me live in my fantasy world where arms are longer than legs.
If this is the case, you should be making millions betting on fights.
This is me, laughing at your ridiculous post. Can you see me laughing? Can you picture it? :icon_lol:
Aldo might cut more but no way is he as powerful and strong as Bendo, not even close. Frankie is used to fighting and out wrestling LW's, Aldo won't be a problem.
ask vitor belfor if his arm was longer than anderson silvas leg , vitor thought he was safe on the outside of any punch , and then shmmmack , right in the kisser .
Out of all of Silva's finishes, this is the only one he finished with a kick. Anderson's finishes or most damaging strikes are punches by vast majority
cung le fights at 4 feet away , because he can close distance with his kicks ,
Right into a Wandy fist. How has Cung ever been finished? hint..... a Punch!
the mentallity of standing toe to toe and slugging away or fighting from a close distance is only a small part of the fight game , there is a whole other set of attacks and counters that are there for a good kicker .
The overwhelming majority of MMA fights are fought and won in close or on the mat. Sure, kicks end fights and have their place. But MMA fights are won or lost, by an overwhelming margin in close or on the mat. For every 1 fight you can find where kicks were the determining factor, I'll find 50 where punching, wrestling, clinching were the same
mma kickboxing is improving in leaps and bounds , its not a muay thai , or karate , or tkd style , its a blend of good boxing strategie with good kicking strategie .
no doubt, but MMA doesn't have a single fighter that can consistently attribute wins or finishes to being a good kicker. But there are many who could attribute wins/finishes to being a good puncher or wrestler.
you and i would be friends in the real world ,
and that is exactly what im saying , ask vitor belfor if his arm was longer than anderson silvas leg , vitor thought he was safe on the outside of any punch , and then shmmmack , right in the kisser .

Has it occured to you that the reason for those stats is because the kicking game is so poor in MMA? Hell the punching game, nay the striking game has yet to be fully developed. How many UFC fighters use proper technique in leg kicks? Real proper hip turnover, follow through, whipping leg kicks? Alves, Aldo...Vera...Cain to some extent...5 maybe six guys out of the whole roster. So we cant use the current UFC KO stats as proof of anything. Punching can be more effective because the fighters do not have the proper balance to be effective with kicks. With proper kicking training, they can be as effective as a second pair of arms.

to "nuke " my point was that having kicking attacks and counters as well as boxing attacks and counters opens up another part of the game ,, i dont know who "arnie " is , so i cant comment on that ,, i thought we were talking about aldo vs edgar
