Place your bets and discuss the fight

Frank Edgar: 8-1 overall, 3-1 UFC. Quality win over Tyson Griffin (12-1, 5-1 UFC), Loss to Gray Maynard (5-0, 3-0 UFC).

Hermes Franca: 18-6 overall, 5-3 UFC, Loss to Sean Sherk (32-3-1, 7-3 UFC/PRIDE).

I see a matchup of an up and coming fighter versus a vet with alot of experience. I think youth wins out in this one. 5K on Edgar

DOn't know Edgar much, but I like Franca's style. Guy is a gamer and while he was over powered by Sherk, that was a roided up Sherk as well. I'm going with the slight dog in this one.

Both fighters failed post match drug tests after that one, Franca came up positive for steroids also.

really?? Was he suspended as well (wondered why he had not fought since then....) Damn, may need to re-think this one, roided up fighters fighting for the first time roid free usually are not guys I like to take.

On July 19, 2007, the California State Athletic Commission announced Franca had tested positive for the banned steroid Drostanolone in a post-fight drug test following his championship fight at UFC 73.. He has been suspended from competing in California until July 5, 2008 and has been fined $2,500

There you go bro

Franca comes out sporting the Earl Shive blue hair!

Sgt John · 07-19-2008, 09:28 PM

Edgar saved his ass getting out of that armbar. I thought it was over.

Sgt John · 07-19-2008, 09:34 PM

Edgar has been the more aggressive fighter, but I feel like the vet is sucking him in for a submission.......

Sgt John · 07-19-2008, 09:39 PM

Edgar will win the fight if he can avoid Franca's power for one more round. Edgar has dominated this fight. Franca's face looks like sausage

Sgt John · 07-19-2008, 09:42 PM

Hermes last gasp effort tears a big hole in Edgar's face, but this one should be a unanimous decision for Edgar

Sgt John · 07-19-2008, 09:45 PM

Its official. Edgar wins.
