QUOTE(#8):

Is the sub by Kimura?

I'm not sure what you're asking. My pick is for Kimura to win by sub in the 1st.

I have absolutely no idea what will happen in Aldo/Edger.

Jose is better in all areas, but Frankie is the king of stick and move and quick takedowns. Jose is huge but his cardio has shown cracks over and over again. If he looks in the later rounds like he did with Hominick in this fight, Frankie could stop him lack

What a great fight, I'm so very excited.

QUOTE(#14):

I'll say Edgar has better wrestling, footwork, boxing, and cardio.

I worded that poorly; I didnt mean Jose was better at everything. Boxing is close, Jose is definitely the superior striker in my mind. Jose moves very well also, before he tires that is.

Frankie does have better wrestling, especially takedowns. He hasn't really shown good control on top, but he doesn't seem to try real hard to maintain top position after a takedown.

Pay for it if you can. Better for the UFC, better for the fighters, better for everyone.

I'm not being an ****, I know $45 can be more than some can afford, but I firmly believe if you can afford it you should buy it.

Oh I know, I always pay for them but i'm not at a place where I can order it so I was hoping to find a place online to watch it.
