    is it apparent to anyone else that edgar looks and fights a lot like GSP?

    wow, he is in out, hands feet, takedowns ground over and over. this fight mirrors a gsp fight minus being put down a few times. edgar looks really good, really really scary good

    Definitely reminds me of the GSP fight. I am shocked that Edgar is dominating Penn so badly. Penn really has lost his swagger, he looks scared these days.

    Both hold two wins of BJ. They are both faster and have better footwork.

    All credit to Edgar but I think it's clear Penn is on the downslide at this point in his career.

    I noticed the similarity too, especially in how Edgar mixed up his standup and takedowns to keep Penn guessing.

    Penn will not fight again, IMO. If he does it will be a rematch against Gomi, but I think he will retire.

    edgar is faster and has more stamina than gsp.edgar has improved too much for the bully since they fought last time.this will be a 5 round fight so the bully will run out of steam.

    I've had similar thoughts about this fight. The problem is, when Frankie's unreal cardio comes into play, will he already be down 3 (or even 4) rounds to none? He's not shown himself to be a big finisher. Hopefully he's improved enough to the point where he'll be able to stuff takedowns from Gray, and even put him on his back throughout the fight. I'd like to finally jump on this money train known as Frankie Edgar. Dude is a dog again for this fight. No respect.

    I like Edgar in this fight as well, and look forward to the line climbing to +150 or higher.

    Edgar has really improved his game. I don't know if Maynard will be able to take him down and hold him there. The stand up Edgar will dominate and he should be able to win later rounds. Using Edgar's strategy against BJ Penn it will be very hard for Maynard to get takedowns. He moves in and out with his striking, which is the complete opposite of what Florian was used to. Maynard made Florian chase him and Florian wasn't ready for that. This strategy would fall right into Edgar's game plan. In and out quickly. Maynard can just go for takedowns all night and may be able to win with them, but if Edgar keeps good movement it's going to become very difficult. Also if Maynard starts losing on the feet he could start fighting very predictable and Edgar can start getting takedowns. What we know for sure is that Edgar has better cardio, better stand up and a better ground game. Maynard only has better takedowns and this might not even be guaranteed with what we've seen from Edgar and Edgar's new fighting style.
