News Frankie Edgar vs Jimmie Rivera Set For BKFC Bout Oct 4th In NJ

Oho ji...would not even enjoy seeing Frankie Answer bhai in much safer sport of slap dangal haanji 🙈

Too much mileage ji should no more fighting-shighting bas some grappling thoda kare, then retire enjoy family 👍🏾

Waheguru ji kirpa kare, haanji 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦
 
I don't like it. At least let Frankie finally get a crack at Conor if he's gonna unretire.
 
Rivera is a hard dude to stop.

28 mma fights and a half dozen or so BKFC and only been KOed 1x by a headkick,
and that was more of a tko
(it was ruled KO but he was not out)

Rivera is like 10 years younger than Frankie, this is a bad idea.
 
A lot of these guys (especially champions like Edgar), are insanely competitive, and have been their entire lives.

It must be extremely hard for them to walk away from competition after a bad loss, or even worse, a series of them.

Hopefully Frankie can get a win or two and then retire gracefully. I hate seeing him get destroyed.
For many, it's not even an issue of money. They miss the dopamine rush from competing and the prestige of being seen in front of thousands. It's a drug in and of itself.

King Mo (whose been a trainer at ATT since retiring from MMA) had announced that he was coming out of retirement for a BKFC fight last year. Only for the fight to be nixed due to him sustaining an injury during training. What injury could he have had training for a BKFC fight aside from being knocked out?

Chances are, he got ko'd during sparring and either his gym or family (out of concern for his physical well-being) managed to persuade him from coming out retirement.
 
I thought we all could scratch Frankie off our list of fighters that we are worried about taking another fight somewhere.

It's been a few years so I thought we would be good by now.

And then this happens..
 
I’m in the north east. from what I hear on the gossip wagon is Wife wants new titties and Frankie figures a nice cash payment to take on no debt or loans 10 min of work. Also opening Frankie’s fishing charter from what I hear, Seems sound financially to me. Great investment in your wife and self & family and future babies.

Again. This could be all wrong but we run in similar circles. My info id say 50/50 guess we’ll see
 
notice BKFC never catches any flack for bringing back old guys like this. UFC/Bellator/SF always catches shit from fans/media when they do this but BKFC gets a pass for some reason despite it being such a brutal sport.

Mendes, Eddie, Edgar, they wantt Lawler back, shit I'm surprised an offer to BJ hasnt gone out yet.
I don't think the fanbase it has cares much for the well being of the fighters, nor does it look at BKFC or Bare-Knuckle itself as something very professional. Same goes for the coverage it receives.
 
Hahaha surely not. It’s like these retired fighters want to get more CTE.
hoenstly they dont have anything else is very sad - he nearly got killed by Tony "The Baby Snatcher" Fergusson idk how he wont die in this one.
