Like the title suggests, do you guys think this past saturday was Frankie's last chance at a second belt? Or do you think he'll get one more crack if Aldo loses to McGregor again? I dont dislike Aldo, but Frankie has had some great, inspirational performances in the octagon and I really wouldve liked to see him grab that second belt eventually.

Thoughts?
 
Against Aldo yes, but chances are he might get another shot if there is a different champion around, it might be ridiculous but would he get a chance at 135? He would make the weight imo.
 
I actually haven't heard a single bit of whining from him this time. On my likeable scale he's moved from a 2/10 to a 4/10. He fought really hard against Aldo, just came up short

I think he realizes he just wont ever to be able to beat Aldo. This rivalry is alot like Cormier/Jones IMO, except Aldo has his shit together so Frankie's kind of fucked :D
 
At 145, I think so yes. Unless Mcgregor fucks up Aldo again.
 
At 145 he can earn a shot if he gets a winning streak and Aldo isn't champion. At 135 he might get one as well if he shows interest.
 
I think he can get a crack a Cruz.
No one wants to see Aldo/Edgar 3
 
He should move down to 135 for sure...
 
He should consider dropping down for one last run if he can make the cut. There's nothing left for him at 145 except for McGregor and he is not getting that fight. TJ/Edgar Cruz/Edgar would be pretty sweet
 
@145 sadly yes, I would like to see him go down in weight. Frankie still is and will always be a tough SOB.
 
It's going to be tough for him. I don't agree that he should move down to 135 unless there is an immediate title match waiting for him. I think Aldo isn't fighting until the end of this year probably (assuming he stays healthy for it too). That fight will either be against McGregor or Holloway. Edgar is going to have to fight another tough guy, just to stay relevant... you lose to that one tough guy, and you're not lost in the shuffle.

It sucks for him because he got beat by an obviously unfair playing field.
 
If McGregor beats Aldo, Frankie deserves a shot.
 
he should drop a weight class hes not beating conor or aldo

'Whining Edgar' is a myth. He's always classy - hat throwing or not.
 
he's still young, i can see him getting another 3 wins and fighting for the belt 1 more time.
 
I think so. They'll prolly throw max to conor if he beats aldo again. No way conors team want frankie.
 
Frankie won't fight Aldo again unless he happens to win a belt Aldo wants, which will most likely never happen.

Aldo owned him the second time around.
 
Aldo will pull out of the Conor rematch and Edgar steps in on short notice. Calling it now
