how can you rank frankie edgar below sean sherk when frankie absolutely dominated him to a unanimous win?

Yeah I don’t get that either… wasn’t any injuries involved (that I know of) and it wasn’t a flush KO.

Bloody hell.

I explained this last month….lol…..Sherk was highly ranked…whereas Edgar wasn’t even ranked at the time….no way Edgar could have leapfrogged all those other fighters when he didn’t even finish Sherk….and he had just lost to an unranked(at the time) Gray Maynard.

The loss against Maynard should in retrospect not matter as much as once thought — I can hear you on it but ultimately disagree who’s the better fighter.

Bloody hell.
