I just checked. He's 36. It's gotta be pretty much over.

Although Yves knocked out Jeremy Stephens a couple months ago. Not bad.

So, he has the ability to be a punching bag. He moved down for a reason. He would've got his ass kicked 10 out of 10 times against Bendo. Having said that, he is exciting to watch and I was just playin.

He's been impressive. Despite his age.

For real. Henderson has his number. He was smart to move down. And I agree about the punching bag thing. Those fights against Gray, it's crazy how much damage he took before coming back strong.

This is what gets me about the UFC. Pretty much have a monopoly on the fight biz with everyone and their mom under contract...

...and they put Yves Edwards on the card because they know he'll fight for 12 canadian doll hairs.

Better card than usual but still not where it should be.

I don't want to repeat the same argument I've been having with people for years, but names don't equal great fights. When Anderson and GSP finally fight, it could end up being a boring stalemate. Lots of fights where both fighters had major marquee value ended up disappointing. Undercard fights are often amazing, because they're both hungry with a lot to prove. One of the reasons I'm a Frankie fan is his fight years ago with Tyson Griffin was insane. It went everywhere and both dudes kept up a savage pace for three rounds. I bet tonight at least a couple of the fights no one cares about end up being killer.

**deidler** · 02-02-2013, 05:36 PM

HAL abandoned his thread.

**HowardsPrenup** · 02-02-2013, 05:45 PM

I've been watching a lot of MMA lately, UFC and Bellator. There have been some very very bloody fights lately. Brutal. Love it!

**HowardsPrenup** · 02-02-2013, 05:47 PM

Is it my computer, or is First Row Sports streams unplayable now?

Yeah, old argument thats been proven false just as many times. At the end of the day, theyre still ranked 56th and would get smashed by the champs.

I guess entertainment value trumps actually trying to decipher who the best fighters are. I don't get it.

My gardener and I are no name wannabe street ball players. We once played a wicked 11-9 game. My neighbors were going crazay!

Why wont the NBA call us? Oh, yeah, we still suck.

Need to go the "League" route imo.
