You think there's any chance Bendo beats Edgar/Maynard?

no and no

He's got a nice guillotine, but other than that, not really.

I think he's pretty well rounded overall--his TKO over Shane Roller was really nice--but, like Cain, I'm just not sold. Everytime I bet against him I lose, though.

Why do you keep bringing Cain up? You're 'not sold' on him, but you're blindly betting on some guy to beat him who has never in his life fought a wrestler of anywhere near the caliber of Cain and was submitted in one minute the last time he was on the ground. Contradictions.

Anyone else think Stun Gun has a good chace at beating Nate?

Yes. A very good chance.

According to Heavy.com, freshly minted UFC featherweight king Jose Aldo will be forced to back out of his New Year’s Day date with Josh Grispi. It is believed Aldo is suffering from a compacted vertebrae, which was causing tingling in his arms.

The unfortunate news comes just days after Octagon president Dana White handed the Brazilian his new bedazzled UFC belt. Aldo owns a dominant 18-1 professional record and has posted a perfect 8-0 mark in the WEC en route to capturing the title.

He was last seen putting Manny Gamburyan to sleep at WEC 51.

Grispi dons an impressive 14-1 resume and has ended all but one of his fights before the final horns have sounded. It’s likely his time line to return will coincide with Aldo’s ability to get back in the cage.

The January 1st show takes place inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. A lightweight title bout between champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard will headline the pay-per-view broadcast.

Update (From Josh Gross): Revise Aldo's "out" to the fight's in "jeopardy." Aldo just told his management he will fight regardless. I'm not so sure that happens.

I like Maynard to beat Edgar....thoughts? I think Maynard will be able to do exactly what he did in his first fight. Edgar may have improved since then, but in his fights since then he has been taken down in every one except Franca/Penn 1. Maynard will be able to control/stay on top unlike BJ, Veach, and Sherk imo.

^^^ I'm not betting against Edgar. That's all I'll say. In fact, I already have 1u on him.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Maynard takes it. I don't see what has changed since they fought last time. Edgar's hands may be improved. Maynard's hands have improved. Maynard hasn't lost since then either (or ever) so I don't know why he wouldn't be favored again.

[zY|]

5 round fight is to Edgar's advantage I'd think.

[MMA_scientist]

^True, but he still has to win 3 of them. He lost every round last time, and they weren't close.
