With each post you male yourself look more and more MMA illiterate. I bet your wearing a TapouT shirt aren't you???? Fanboy.
your an idiot bro stop trolling explain exactly how ben henderson is better than frankie edgar when the best wrestler gray maynard couldnt even beat frankie. Frankie has a solid as chin, mean heart, amazing wrestlers and has never been scared of taking a hit even from BJ Penn. Ben henderson's toughest fight has come from petitis and petitis beat him.
Wrestler. That's all Maynard is, a wrestler. Ben Henderson is a complete fighter equipped with wrestling, BJJ, stand-up, and speed. Bigger than Edgar and more versatile.
Petitis??? Yeah, you clearly know enough about him to be discussing his fights. :rofl Edgar may have a slight speed advantage over Henderson, but that won't be enough. Henderson is as big and strong as Gray Maynard is, but he is faster and more explosive than Gray, and has more vicious striking.
Edgars footwork and in and out boxing will give ben fits. Ill take edgars easy. If ben couldnt get pettis down and keep him there good luck getting edgar down.
Strong as gray maynard? thats debatable and doesnt matter because technique always beats strength and his vicious striking is only due to the fact that he has fought bums who have **** striking and when he fought petitis he got ****ed up.
I think Edgar's edge in speed and technique will overcome any lack of size issues. Edgar throws shorter punches, has better hand speed, and would win most punching exchanges. Edgar has, in my opinion, superior wrestling. Both guys are brown belts in bjj, if I'm not mistaken; but Edgar seems to have a tighter game. I wouldn't be shocked to see Henderson win, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'd expect Henderson to give a good account of himself, and lose a decision 3-2 or 4-1 in rounds. I think Henderson's strength advantage would get him the first round or two, but Edgar comes on to take the rest. If this were a 3 round bout, it could be very interesting.
Am I missing something here? He beats Jim Miller directly after getting whooped by Anthony Pettis and people are not only calling him to beat, but to destroy Frankie Edgar? Have I gone insane or is everyone in this thread simultaneously tripping on LSD?
