Hard to believe Frankie Edgar spent 6 years at featherweight

[theTKDguy]

as a fan, frankie should just take fun fights at 145. he's giving up all of his advantages if he cut down to 135, and the cut itself will be tough considering his age.

also crazy to think he was lightweight champion. i cant imagine him vs khabib, tony, etc.

He dethroned BJ so that was a long time ago

Frankie vs Maynard is an underrated rivalry/epic trilogy

I will never forget that sequence. Those fights were amazing and Gray was terrifying back then.

Terrible idea 135. Not good for that chin.

He should retire honestly.

I think Henry brutally finishes if Frankie gets that far, speed isnt there anymore and Henry’s prob stronger than Edgar.

No way, Frankie will beat Henry and make it look easy

He probably cuts 10 to make 145.

He wrestled at 141 in college:

Like a lot of people I thought he'd have no problem making 135, but it says something that he's going to be 6 lbs below his college wrestling weight.

Was going to say... Think the heaviest he ever got was like 161lbs.. while fighting at LW.. after camp, he might have to shed a pound or two bf hitting the scales... so cutting to 145 was a 10-12 pound cut at most...

I bet Frankie makes 135 without issue.

Agree...

And if you really think about it... How many others have fights this good, this thrilling and this high stakes??

I mean, the first fight was a non-title 3 rounder... But it added to drama that Maynard beat Frankie.. and now Edgar was the champ...

Really some of the best title fights ever...

Bad move
