    Edgar vs. Pettis... NO REMATCH

    I don't know whether or not I'm in the minority on this.. and to be honest I really don't care.. I want to see Edgar/Pettis! Make it happen Joe Silva!

    I doubt Dana will want to do the rematch, Edgar/Pettis would be more marketable for sure.

    I wanted to see Pettis Maynard more, anyways. Maynard would allow Pettis to show off more I would think, Edgar is so damn slippery

    Either way id say maynard definitely deserves a rematch. But the sooner I can bet pettis to beat maynard or edgar the better.

    Edgar vs. Pettis will be the next fight and the winner will face Maynard, unless Maynard looses his next fight.

    He deserves a rematch no doubt. I just hope it happens AFTER Edgar/Pettis!

    damnt they need to just have a ******* extra round for draws like K1.

    I cant imagine maynard losing the belt to a draw and being forced to take another fight, that would be pretty cold. Has that happened to anyone else in a title fight?

    Maynard had his chance, and was a great fight. Bring on Pettis

    Whats really shitty too is edgar is going to be on medical suspension for at least 3 or 4 months, 6 at the most probably. So the belt will probably be on the shelf past 129.

    F gray maynard. hes the most boring asshole around. surely they wont give him an immediate rematch. let gray fight ben henderson, george s., or sign kawajiri and let him fight him. something besides an immediate rematch.

    Answer/Showtime would be a great fight

    MAN, **** THE UFC

    I couldn't even get passed that fight with Diaz vs the penile named dude. Cure for insomnia that was. I'll take your word for it, though I kind of doubt those two snoozers put on a good fight. Also there were no "name" fighters, good fights only matter if the person has a name before hand.

    I think Pettis has a really good chance. I mean considering how well rounded he is.. His has good defense vs. wrestlers. And he is very good off his back. His striking is going to present some problems for Frankie I believe. But we'll see.

    Pettis has never fought in a UFC ring before (which are bigger) and I don't see pettis imposing his striking on someone as quick and elusive as frankie. Will be a good fight for sure but I think frankie wins unanimously.

    Great decision, Maynard really did fight his ass off and does deserve the rematch.

    maynard is going to get his rematch eventually, hes onbviously at the top of the division. i htink pettis should be next because theres a pretty big possibility for a edgar/maynard 4 in the future at this rate.

    This sucks. Pettis will probably have to fight somebody else now in a nontitle fight.

    Im glad they are doing the rematch. I would have been ashamed of the UFC if they didnt. A guy fights to a draw in a title fight and you dont do a rematch... unheard of.

    I dont think its even fair to let edgar take the belt home, he didnt win it.

    I agree with the champ retaining his title if it's a draw, but for sure Maynard deserves an immediate rematch. You can't have a title fight ending with no closure and then not set up the rematch. Sucks for Pettis if he'll have to fight another tough opponent who could possibly ruin his title shot (like Grispi/Poirier... though as Rogan said it's lucky for Grispi he wasn't facing Aldo last night), but the Edgar/Maynard rubber match needs to happen right away.

    It was quite obviously the right choice, unless of course BJ Penn wanted an immediate title shot

    Maynard should fight the winner of Edgar/Pettis.. I'm so damn sick of seeing this rematches! Edgar will have fought 2 guys in his last 4 fights.. really?

    Do you think we will see a decrease of takedowns that are dependent on explosion abilities?

    Depends on how often they plan to host events in Abu Dhabi. har har har







    Chairib people are obsessed with this exploding, in some other topic somebody kept insisting they wanted to see fighters explode up and out from under. What gives?

    A lot of people have never trained in MMA and don't realize exactly how hard it is to get out from under someone who is a BJJ black belt.. or any belt from that matter.
