Pretty pumped for this show, takes place August 11Th. Can't wait to see my man Bendo to wreck Edgar again, Jake Shields also returns to middleweight + Yushin Okami looks to stop his losing streak at this event. Not really the strongest card i guess but that's alright for me at least.

Press conference is next week, likely have more fights added to the prelims + interviews from Both Edgar & Henderson.​

I like the card even though it lacks the jazz of a big name.

Shields fight will be boring as ever but Okami/Cane sounds a slugfest and Hallman is a wacky fucking dude and you never know what to expect with him.

I hope Edgar turns up way better than the last fight but I think it was a case of Bendo was just too good rather than anything Frankie did wrong. Bendo's skillset is legit, he is 155lbs Jon Jones (more exciting than Jones though, IMO).

 

[No More Sorrow]

Agreed about Henderson being the 155lb Jon Jones, much more exciting also. His fight with Clay Guida on the Fox prelims in November was pretty fucking awesome, granted Guida added a lot of excitement to that as well. Either way i like Jones, but would much rather see my man Bendo fight.

Press conference for this show tomorrow @ 12pm.

I can't stand Jake Shields and I am not the biggest fan of Frankie Edgar either yet both are on the card. Still don't like that Edgar got the rematch when he clearly lost his fight, hopefully Henderson finishes him here to stop Edgar from trying to claim that he "thought he did enough to win". Okami/Cane should be a good fight, card overall looks okay.

I can't wait for the Edgar/Bendo rematch. Honestly, Edgar looked great in the last fight, but Bendo just has the all around advantage. Size/strength and his kicks make Frankie's look like mine. As long as Frankie can't kick like Bendo, he really can't win cause Bendo is too well rounded. He has the wrestling and BJJ background and he can kick like pretty much no one else. I like Frankie, but Bendo is just so good. I'm more hyped about this that Sonnen/Silva.

 

[The Cork]

Decent main card tbh, I am a big fan of Palhares and Hallman though so those fights might not appeal to all.

I really think Bendo can finish Frankie this time, he's just too good.

 

[Slim]

I am a big time fan of Jake Shields and have been waiting for him to return back to middleweight. I wanna see him finally start subbing people. The guy is good.

But the main card as a whole looks awesome... but there is a very good chance I will be on vacation with my woman during that time and will wind up missing the show so... ah well.

Missing a Bendo fight, how could you? :

I think Palhares-Okami is a brilliant fight, looking for Henderson to KO Frankie here as well. Shields is pretty cool too.

 

[Deezy]

Couldn't get me interested in this card if it was free.

Bendo should smash him in the face even more and should allow him to soccer kick Frankie for getting a million rematches.

Benson and Edgar 2? I get the first fight was good but too me there is no way there should be a rematch so quick. I am normally not on the the MMA rumor sites, but the fact this is happening again I could care less tbh. It will be a good fight, but Benson should be fighting someone else. Card looks solid.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Edgar came out and said it wasn't fair because he had to do immediate rematches with Penn and Maynard, I agree though this fight shouldn't be happening especially seeing as there's so many top contenders at 155 right now. Edgar is clogging the division up.

 

[The Cork]

I dread it finishing in a draw and it being dragged out another 6 months.

I mean Edgar is making this division to complicated. At first it is like oh Pettis will fight so Benson can avenge the loss. What if Pettis loses from now until facing Benson. I mean really Frankie should have earned the title fight.
