Who you rooting for @FrankieNYC?

I like both, but Max is a fun champ

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Max is a true champ. Respect.

I'd like to see an upset and Frankie Edgar taking the title.

Max is one tough son a of a bitch though, gonna be a great fight !

 

[beephin]

Should be a good one. Two guys that don't get tired and move forward. As much as I love Frankie, Max is too good. Max takes it. It really is the Blessed Era.

Wouldn't be mad at all if Frankie pulled this off somehow though.

 

[markys00]

man if conor could take max down, edgar should be able to, as well. if frankies a big enough underdog, some good value on him

 

[Substance Abuse]

Poor Edgar. Mini Balboa gets my perpetual respect.

 

[Yankee]

If Max wins they have to do Hawaii next.

 

[rorschach51]

Love both fighters not sure who to root for, probably Frankie...There's no way this isn't going to be a great fight!

Good fight hope it happens this time. Holloway TDD defense hasn't really been tested much lately. Not to mention frankie is tough as nails, can keep up with Holloway in pace, and is a really good boxer as well.

I see Frankie getting Holloway down and beating him up, but it's gonna be a tough fight where both guys have there moments. Holloway size won't play a factor either considering frankie fought way bigger guys at LW for a good part of his career.

The quicker the better

War Edgar!

 

[nanika]

i dont care who wins. i just want the fight to happen.

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Max vs Frankie is a very interesting fight. Idk if Edgar will be the same but he needs to be 100% because Holloway is vicious.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Great fight!!, this is the fight to make. I hope it actually happens this time. I like both guys.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

I'm almost fine with either guy taking it, but I'm kinda rooting for Edgar here because I'm tired of him losing championship matches. He's what, 0-4 in his last four title bouts? Not to mention Edgar beating Max would really emphasize the whole Rock-Paper-Scissors nature of fighting (Edgar>Aldo>Holloway>Edgar.)

 

[Gilday]

Think I'll pick Frankie.

Aldo was doing well on the feet before he gassed and Edgar won't gas. That being said Holloway looks better every time

 

[SimonNova]

Weird. The UFC is out of its mind, booking a title bout between the REAL CHAMP and the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER.

That goes against their principles.

man if conor could take max down, edgar should be able to, as well. if frankies a big enough underdog, some good value on him

except with Conor he was getting outstruck and totally pressured on the feet. i doubt Frankie can apply that kind of pressure with Max's reach and movement. and Edgar's takedowns are gonna be expected, unlike vs Conor.

Aldo pretty much toyed with Edgar at UFC 200 using a sidestep and a counter right. Max has much better movement and a larger reach advantage.

in my opinion i think Max is going to smash him worse than Aldo.
