If so, how bad was it?
first response nailed it!!No, it was just a close fight, thought Edgar won but was semi expecting them to give the decision to BJ because he is BJ.
Frankie 3 Penn 0
salty BJ fans can't stand that Frankie owns him
Ooooooo that second Bendo fight was baaaaad though. Maybe worse than Penn vs Edgar 1You want salt? Let's talk about how Ben Henderson owns Frankie. Bendo 2 Frankie 0.
It was a bad decision. Maybe not bad enough to call it a robbery, but then again, maybe it was.
People need to remember that this was right after greasegate, during the period of Penn's career where he was the most hated fighter in the sport by leaps and bounds. His fans were pretty rabid, almost like Conor fans, and his haters were a million times worse (as haters always are.)
This is one of those fights where you can't rely on fans' opinions. If you listened to the fans, Edgar schooled him and it wasn't close. If you're an objective viewer who understands striking and MMA, very hard to score it for Edgar. He was busy but not effective. Penn was countering with the left hook almost every time Edgar came in.
Have you ever seen an actual "robbery"?It was very close. Not the definition of robbery. If Penn had blatant won the fight, then it would be a robbery. Everyone around here cries "robbery" when the decision does not favor their fighter.

Evan Dunham vs Tyson Griffin was close. Some judge gave that fight to Griffin.
