Been a bit in the holiday cheer the last couple weeks and so I have not been spending much time on posting MMA stuff. So for my last post of 2010, I’ll share this video from MMADieHards.com interview with UFC Champion Frankie Edgar at Ricardo Almeida’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy.
Frankie gives his thoughts and opinions on his upcoming rematch with Gray Maynard at UFC 125 on New Years Day and how his size disadvantage was a contributing factor to Maynard winning their first fight and why he doesn’t think it will affect him too much this time round.
Maynard has remarked that Edgar’s style has not changed since they first met and Frankie gives his opinion on that, and how he thinks Maynard’s style has changed.
He also talks about the merger of the WEC with the UFC and whether the fighters of the WEC are up to the standard of the UFC.
Personally I think that having multiple (so called world class) organizations in any sport can be confusing for the fans. When you have so many belts and titles, its easy to end up with a situation like you have in boxing today with all the ‘alphabet organizations’. Nobody really knows who the true champion of the world is!
