I think he defenetely should. The sooner he commtis to the TD, the sooner he will get aldo to gas, and the less he will have to deal with Aldo's power.
I see it pretty similar to JDS/Cain, the reason why JDS gassed that much was because he had to defend the TDs non stop for the first rounds. Once he was gassed, Cain didn't mind striking with him.
Good point...I hope Frankie does that. Frankie is tough and will probably take some punishment early, but I think he will come back strong and push the pace. It all comes down to Edgar pushing the pace imo...if he tries to do something like UFC 112.....he is gonna lose.
He should be going for tds early, and if he doersnt get them, make it a grinding affair against the cage. He does that, by rd 2 or 3 he will have his way with Aldo.

“Been going through a lot on a personal note," said Ian McCall in an exclusive interview with MMASucka.com. "It’ll all unfold sooner or later, but at least I have the gym, that’s my happy place at the moment. So as much drama as I’ve been dealing with at the moment, I have this place to make me happy, and at least I’m focused here.
"It’s all home stuff. I don’t live at home anymore, I’m separated, probably getting a divorce. Just stuff like that."
"I just want to get this (fight) over with, and be free and just be happy, finally — that’s how I look at it, get in there and I can be happy — and get it over with so I can fix my life.”
That's unfortunate to hear because I remember hearing an interview with him a few months ago and he seemed really happy with his domestic situation. Hell, I was even a little envious.

I think Mendes is a better wrestler than Edgar. At least he has better credentials. Edgar has been outwrestled at least once (Maynard I), but he has obviously gotten better, but I think that is because he has been the better striker in those matchups. He isn't a better striker than Aldo. I agree that Edgar will be able to get him down later in the fight and maybe early, but I don't think he will be able to keep it there for very long in the early rounds.
Wife on dat BBC?
Don't be crude.
Damn, we got a big gap between 156 and 157.
3 weeks isn't THAT long....there is a Fuel card on the 16th.
Oh, I didn't know there was a Fuel card. I was just looking on BFO.
Edgar has taken A LOT of punishment in his two fights with Maynard and Bendo. His body needs to heal and take on an easy fight, not another top P4P fighter.I think Aldo wins easily.
I think he needs to take at least one fight at FW just to see where he's at and get his body calibrated to the new weight class.
Am I the only one who thinks Rashad at -400/-500 is crazy? I mean, Rashad is elite and everything but I feel like the fight is probably going to be alot closer than the line indicates? It's not like Rogerio doesn't have a clear out here.
I think the line is a little high. Rashad should probably be around -375. But either way I am pretty sure he's going to win.
