Is this the time for Frankie to drop to 135?

[Fight To Win]

He'd have to actually cut some real weight for once to make it but Edgar has some very fascinating matchups at bantamweight IMO. And him being there could really make that division stronger in my opinion.

• Cruz
• Dillashaw
• Maybe Mighty Mouse if he comes up from 125?
  
• Dodson
• Lineker
• Garbrandt
• Almeida
• McDonald
  
• Caraway

All those fights sound good to me, I guess a lot of it having to do with never having contemplated the matchups before. But stylistically some of them sound really good, too. Cruz and Dillashaw in particular would be very interesting opponents for Edgar stylistically. I think he can beat anyone at 145 not named Jose though so who knows? It's up to him of course. It's not something he has to do I guess... but if he really wants to achieve that dream of being the third guy to hold a belt in two different weight classes.. 135 is his huckleberry I think.

What do you guys think?

He'd be a fantastic addition
& a true force in the bracket.

A fight with Dodson would be
interesting.


& you're right, Frankie also gets
a 3rd shot at being as great as BJ

Frankie Edgar is 36 years old. Maybe it's time to accept that maybe he's not going to get better, and cutting more weight isn't going to help his chin and having less of a speed advantage won't help his fighting style. He isn't the two divsion champion that was promised to you, and i'm sorry for that.

He should, he's tiny as fuck and stands NO CHANCE against Aldo.

 

[Highflyer]

I'm only interested to see him whip Cruz and TJ.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

He should, he's tiny as fuck.

Of course YOU would want
him to go down in weight,

Yup. Go chase that second belt. Make history.

Good luck, Frankie. Rarely ever rooted for you, but respect your fight skills and spirits.

lol Edgar is tiny as fuck, if he can't handle Aldo's strength (Edgar was getting thrown around every time he shot last night) he most definitely will not be able to handle Conor's strength considering Conor is even bigger than Aldo.

Perhaps.


McGregor doesn't have the tdd
of Aldo though. At least not as
proven

I'm telling you man, I know that I'm a Conor fan first but he's a huge FW and realistically he would throw Frankie tf around.

But you are correct about Conor not having the TDD of Aldo, Aldo is elite and I wouldn't never bet against him EXCEPT for when he's fighting Conor.
