Awesome card. Honestly I'm not sure who won the main event, but Edgar's luck was bound to run out. He's been in way too many close decisions. I'm just glad Showtime won too so we can see an epic rematch.

Bader proved the tito fight was a fluke but gonna say
1. Rampage was injured no way he misses weight other wise, never has before.
2. Rampage slam was easily the most exciting part of the fight.

but not to take anything away from Bader. great performance and proved he is a top 10 LHW.

WTF happened to Rampage. Dude looked like shit....not sure if he's still serious in fighting. Dude should just hang it up instead of embarassing himself.

Frankie got screwed he landed more shots and more takedowns, u can just go off his eye because of one good upkick..He Deserves a rematch and thank god he got it!

ANd he hasnt been in way too many close decisions, the first BJ fight and the 2nd gray fight. The 3rd gray fight he KOd him and the 2nd bj fight he dominated for 5 rds, the only other real close fight he had was his first ufc fight vs Tyson Griffin

how did he get screwed? its a round system.

he won the 1st with 1 take down and even striking.
2nd round Henderson beat him striking and edgar did nothing with his 2 takedowns. Most of Edgars hits were soft and did nothing
3rd round Henderson out struck and both got takedowns.
4th round Henderson out struck him and there were 0 takedowns
5th round he outstruck him against and again a take down and did nothing.
that is 49-46.

also that is completely untrue.

Henderson landed 100 strikes Edgar 81
significant was 87-68

i think your favoritism of Edgar is blinding you if you think he was anywhere near out striking him. Edgar got rocked multiple times, Bendo was always good.

Bendo also attempted 3 Guillotines.

Edgar never even got to half guard.

Frankie Lost the 2nd? He was on top for 3 mins before that Upkick, I am not biased towards Frankie at all, Maybe i need to watch the fight again, cuz me and DANA White both thought Frankie won..

Bendo landed leg kicks, one good knee and an upkick thats it! and everytime he tried to take frankie down he got thrown off like a rag doll even tho hes much bigger. And they both dropped each other one time....not enuff to dethrone a champ imo...LOL at saying Bendo won 4 rounds, you gotta be joking

Dana White thinks alot of dumb shit.

give him the 2nd if you want. that still is 48-47.

wtf? bendo tried only 1 takedown and he got it. you really need to rewatch the fight if thats what you remember.

and when he was on top he was in the guard throwing rabbit punches at best and never attempted any submissions. That shouldnt get you any points. especially when Henderson was doing more damage from the ground.

edgar tried 12 shots and landed 5.

A close decision that could of gone either way? for sure. a bullshit decision? fuck no.

ok not a bullshit decision, but in my mind u gota CLEARLY beat the champ, and i dont think Bendo did, but i guess u said that about teh first frankie bj fight too...

i will state im just reading these stats. Maybe they are wrong. I dont remember edgar throwing henderson though. Bendo was controlling the pace as well in my eyes i was focused on him not edgar. I think that can really sway who you think won.

lol yeah i was watching edgar benson was coming more forward but frankie always fights like that cuz he boxes and has alot of movement so he doesnt plod, he gets in and out after he throws his combos...People put too much value on whose coming foward, condit wasnt coming forward but he landed alot more significant shots

Eh what do you mean by controlling the pace? Edgar was doing what he always does and looked completely comfortable at his pace. Condit had to actually flee from engagement several times during his fight. To me that's not control. Bendo didn't implement his game plan any more than Maynard or Penn did since it looked like a typical Frankie Edgar fight. Though Maynard had Frankie a lot more hurt than Bendo ever did.
