Edson Barboza now training with Frankie Edgar

Great news for Barboza! I'm glad to see he realizes that if he wants to improve he needed better training partners.

This is NOT a Aldo vs Edgar thread, so please don't make it one.

I got Edgar beating Aldo via spinning heel kick.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

Does barboza know english? Just curious

 

edgar vs aldo...discuss!

 

lmfao. Im glad Barboza is getting better training.

 

very smart move. will be helpful for both. barboza is not on aldo's level but his fluidity in the striking has probably been helpful to edgar's preparations for Jose.

 

Ehh, could have done better with partners. Blackzilians would have been good. As well as AKA.

 

Edgar won the fight against Henderson?

If that's true, then Pearson won the fight against Barboza.

 

edgar won both the fights

 

They've been training together for awhile, I think.

 

Check my signature, i've had it for two years and i still believe it 100%.

 

Whatever you say bud, I'm pretty sure I watched Henderson win against him twice in a row. You sound like BJ fans after his fights with Edgar.

 

LOL...u are a dick bro..

 

And Njokuani!!! People seem to forget about that one.

 

then Barboza will have a new nickname, Edson "the Rematch" Barboza.....!!!!

 

Barboza isn't on Aldo's level? No shit but who is? Barboza is about the best sparring partner Edgar can find to prepare him for the kicks, movement, style of Aldo. Plus Barboza loses one fight against a long time top LW and now people want to act like he is worthless (*not directed at you exactly just throwing it out there) Also, id wager Barboza is basically as fast as Aldo but actually bigger, stronger so its a great help to Edgar regardless if he was fighting Aldo or not.

 

eh, if you go through the media sites, and look at all the journalists that sat and scored the rounds, edgar won....only people who saw differently were the judges...please dont try to argue that the judges appointed by the state are better reps

One day a Barboza vs Aldo fight would be pimp if he evolves his game. Good to work with for Edgar against Aldo's Muay Thai.

 

Here we go..

 

Well Penn did win the first one. I don't know many people, even Edgar fans who argue that.
I thought Edgar and Bendo went 1-1
