frankie edgar was werdum-esque in the way he went forward

[Unfinished Sentenc]

the fuck was that striking

 

[lyndon955]

I thought he was going to win to be honest, all the way up until he was rocked.

 

[RockyLockridge]

It's like a bad dream.

This hurt is deep boys.

sherbros, hold me @Augustus Caesar Why does he have to be gone?

 

[HCS]

He was in a zombie state after that elbow.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Because Ortega was so much bigger Frankie had to leap, and by that time his shots had no power

Ortega had pretty big lunging attacks as well, but I knew he would catch Frankie coming in

 

[BenRichards]

He had to out pace Ortega. He had to dart in and out to win. He couldn't afford to pick his shots not that he does that anyway. Ortega just knew he had to tighten up his short strikes. He did.

Werdum was chasing a finish and paid for it. The rematch would look a lot different

 

[IBeLurkin]

He was already rocked and in bad zombie mode by that point.

 

[MescalineDreams]

he's always sort of blitzed forward like that

Definitely worse than I've seen It though.

 

[fortheo]

He was winning until he ate the elbow. The size difference was something though....He looked like a kid in there.

[Roop Holstry]

I saw Frankie leaving his head on the centerline coming forward a lot from the beginning of the fight but I didn’t know if Ortega was capable of capitalizing significantly. He definitely showed why he is so dangerous once again.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Damn this KO makes me sad. Congrats to Ortega, though. He's a beast among beasts.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

It was weird to see Frankie get rocked and try to clinch, he usually just circles for days until he clears his head

 

[Augustus Caesar]

It's like a bad dream.

This hurt is deep boys.

sherbros, hold me @Augustus Caesar Why does he have to be gone?

Sad day for us Frankie fans.

Indeed, he looked pretty good up to that moment to me but that really was a bad signal for his future. So much of Edgar's success has been based on his ability to take punishment and even when rocked stay mobile but he went into slow easy to hit zombie mode there for the first time ever from a not especially big punch.
