:iagree:

You see the superman punch off the cage by Aldo? Maybe that's what got Pettis interested :icon17:

Yeah, those two guys are nuts. To be able to think of pulling something like that off while in a fight... crazy! Pettis proved it wasn't a fluke either when he did the knee off the cage against Cerrone.

Yeah that was really unexpected.

One thing I didn't get was why Aldo kept going for the flying knee in the later rounds when he was tired. Wasn't working at all and he just kept wasting more energy. Would have been better off throwing kicks to the head.

:iagree: Just throwing kicks in general. He shouldn't have stopped throwing kicks.

He said Edgar started checking the kicks better and was trying to shoot everytime he threw them after the opening round. But agreed, I can see throwing less of them not to telegraph them but to move completely away almost cost him. I was worried in the 3rd when Frankie was still moving around. He just doesn't go away. I was hoping Aldo would KO him.

Interesting to see if Edgar drops to fight possibly Faber and get a shot at Cruz or if he sticks it out at Featherwieght. Personally I think he should stick it out in FW. He loses all his advantage if he moves down. He will be the bigger guy but no longer faster than his opponent. Even at FW he isnt the fastest. Plus if he keeps dropping weight classes and losing he will find himself next to the master of that himself and sitting next to Kenny Florian on UFC Tonight!

I think part of the problem was he kept throwing the same kick to the same leg, which made it easier to telegraph. If he mixed it up I think he might have had better results.

I'm not sure what Edgar should do. I don't see him (or anyone else) beating Aldo at 145. If Aldo moves up though, he would do well at 145. Edgar vs Faber could also be good to find a potential #1 contender to fight the winner of Cruz vs Barao.

Pettis vs Aldo is happening on Aug. 3 just announced hours ago by Dana White. Location is yet to be determined. This fight is going to be awesome! I hope they stack this card.

That was definitely up there with the all time best knockouts in UFC history.

Hadouken! Uriah Hall over there doing Street Fighter celebrations.

What makes it so bad is he only had about 6 seconds left to escape the round. Instead he woke up in an ambulance. He didn't listen at the start of the match when the ref says, "Protect yourself at all times!"

Instead he was like Nick Diaz, "We are throwing spinning **** now?" :icon14:

Cella, you sir :gtfo2:

b1adesofcha0s 02-06-2013 02:12 PM

I like Cella's chances of being back as the wild card pick.
