Do you think he can hang with Conor on the feet or does he need to take him down right away?
 
Best of the best. He shouldn't stand with Conor though. Conor is much longer and unfortunately could probably rock Frankie's world if one of those lefts or uppercuts lands solid during a trade in the pocket as Frankie likes to do.

He should GNP Conor into submission. Frankie is a really smart fighter and if he can make it out of round two it's his fight to lose.
 
Frankie Edgar has great boxing. Worried about his reach. Auschwitz McGregor is a giant compared to him, so Edgar is probably going to have difficulties getting inside and has to take him down continuously to make him think twice before strikes and those fancy looking capoeira kicks etc.
 
One of the best 1-2 in the buisness!
(i think conor had trouble with 1-2 combo in his last fight)
Wrestling and Cardio of Frankie will be tough for Conor.


But Edgar did got tagged Vs maynard (twice)
Conor could KO him in the 1st tbh.

Still think Frankie win most of the time.
 
Conor wins 9/10

Frankie gets hit clean in almost every fight, and against Conor that's a death sentence.
 
Frankie has taken hits from some of the best at LW and survived. Conor's power is overrated and only stops midgets.

Conor had trouble with 1-2 combo from a much taller fighter with a reach advantage...

Mendes took Conor down with ease.

He's fast and skilled enough to box Conor up on the feet... but the risk of getting KO'd by McG is huge if he tries. By far the better, safer and smarter path to victory is to shoot on McGroundgame, complete the TD, then beat on him from top position until he gives up the submission opportunity in order to find a way out of there.

This fight only has two outcomes: McG by hellacious KO on the feet or Edgar by submission on the ground after a GnP beatdown.
 
From my uneducated standpoint, his boxing looks pretty good. He's quick and lands with regularity but is very hittable, which is not a good thing against McGregor.

Maynard, who's striking is very basic compared to McGregor's, put a hurting on Edgar.

I think Edgar will fight McGregor like he did Swanson. It's the easiest route to victory.
 
Frankie's got great boxing but he gets hit for sure
He got caught in the first round in two of the Maynard fights and was badly hurt but he came back like a champ
Maybe he can do it against Conor too
But when you get knocked out, you get knocked out lol there's no coming back
 
I'll tell you, with the amount of feints and great head movement that Frankie puts into his fights, Conor Mcgregor is going to miss, probably a lot of strikes, wich could get him pretty tired after the second or third round.

And we've seen Conor's Cardio fade, meanwhile Frankie Edgard could go for hours if he had too.

Add the Wrestling for Frankie, then yeah, i'm pretty confident on Frankie's chances.

People talking about how Frankie Edgard is too hittable are just uneducated enough to talk about him.
