Joe Rogan actually convinced some of you that Frankie won.

What have we all learned time and time again?





















Don't listen to Rogan!
 
Rogan had Aldo winning. He was saying in the 5th Edgar needs the finish
 
was in a noisy bar, couldn't hear crap. Still I thought the fight was close enough to go either way.
 
It was a close fight in the last 3 rounds.

I was pissed too when Edgar beat BJ, but homies hold a grudge I guess.
 
lol ikr? Rogan has a funny way of doing that. Caught myself in the last round and was like "Woah wait. What am i thinking?"
 
Rogan barely convinced me that Edgar won the fourth. He won one round and all the crying needs to stop. Anymore whining from this kid and he should change his nickname from "answer" to "entitled".
 
It was very close, could have gone either way, I gave it to Edgar, didnt watch it with Joes commentary(sp?)
 
Rogan didn't convince me of shit. I thought it was close yeah but I still had Aldo winning. Get off Joe's nuts
 
I thought it was a solid 48-47 for Aldo , with Edgar gaining momentum from the latter part of the 3rd , though he didn't do enough to win that round I though he eked out the 4th and 5th, it took him a while to get the timing down though I'm pretty sure that Aldo's speed surprised him but Edgar did make a great account of himself.
 
I watched the fight at a bar with a couple if friends. We couldn't even hear what Rogan was saying and we all thought it was a close fight that could have gone either way.
 
Had it 48-47 Aldo with an extremely close round going to Aldo, would not have thought that an Edgar decision was a robbery.

I think this is one example of the judges actually using the scoring criteria correctly, Aldo landed the more powerful strikes in every round, he won rounds 1 and 2 easy then Frankie started to put together more volume while Aldo continued to land harder, the slam in round 4 gave Edgar the round but based on the scoring criteria that was the only round he won, I gave him round 5 personally but it was volume over power and the judges scored what they were supposed too.
 
Rogan did an excellent job. He is by far, the best in the busines. He used to struggle with wrestling knowldege, differences between greco etc..., but now the dud is on point.

He called the fight accurately, and had the 3rd as a tossup, realistically believing that the judges would likely lean Aldo because of damage from the previous rounds (opinion). He had Frankie winning 4, 5 like the rest of the world. Not sure why anybody would jump on Rogan. He called it the way it turned out. The 49-46 scores were not accurate, but I am sure in some alternate universe, a superman punch can steal a round after backpedaling and getting outstruck the entire round.

It was a very even fight. Nobody can be upset other than disappointment that the scorecard were not more accurate.
 
Anyone who thought Edgar won the fight or that it was close should NEVER criticize another UFC Judge in your lifetime.

That fight was a CLEAR win for Aldo. There simple is no debate.
 
It was a clear 48-47 for me, I just couldn't decide who to give round 3 to (and was glad I didn't have to).

I was leaning toward Aldo, but wouldn't have been surprised if it was Frankie, either.
 
I had Frankie winning the fight but only if it was a non-title fight... but in a Championship match you need to do more than pick away, you need to defeat the Champ decisively, and he didn't... that performance wasn't worthy of a title-change.
 
Rogan said that Edgar probably won 4 and 5. He didn't say that Edgar won the fight.
 
Aldo clearly won but Frankie put up a good fight!
