Five Round Frankie

Frankie Edgar vs Benson Henderson Fight Recap

It seems like Frankie Edgar has been in his fair share of 5 round judging scandals and has been on both sides of the wrong decision.  To start this story off we have to take a trip back to when he first fought BJ Penn for the light weight title.  This was a back and forth affair, that saw BJ Penn landing good counters, against the quick footed Frankie.  BJ came on strong as usually and it looked like he took the first 3 rounds and then started fading.  The quicker fighter Frankie seemed to do enough to take the 4th and 5th rounds.  Three rounds to two seems like a pretty solid win for BJ right.  Wrong, the judges ended up giving Edgar the nod.

UFC 150: Co-Main Event Breakdown

Donald Cerrone VS Melvin Gullard

The two Jackson trained fighters will square off in the octagon this Saturday night.  Both went their separate ways after the fight was announced so not to hinder their friendship. See Evans, it can be done.  Each are looking forward to not holding back and enjoy the spirit of competition in its truest form.

This is a battle of polar opposites, but who wins?  With Melvin Gullard you have a compact power house, he has dynamite in both his hands and feet (even though he doesn't use many kicks).  He can generally blast through anybody for the take-down if he has to.  But since his much improved boxing, great footwork, and fast hands he hasn't had to force many take-downs.
