Frankie Edgar is a very tough guy. He has produced amazing moments that are epic sport classics. The inept UFC commentator, Mike Goldberg, often claims that Edgar is the toughest fighter to ever come from the Garden State.
This is more than hyperbolic as he has really only displayed his mettle thrice. Edgar showed indomitable grit in the Edgar-Henderson bout, in Edgar-Maynard 2 and Edgar-Maynard 3. While his performances truly were legendary in these three instances, there are others who have distinguished themselves over a longer time period.
As a general rule, I disregard anything Mike Goldberg says. Naturally, he is wrong and seeing where he was wrong is intriguing. Which New Jersey fighters truly deserve that title of the “toughest” fighter to ever come from New Jersey?
Here is a suggested list of five tougher fighters submitted for your consideration. Or does “The Answer” deserve to be on the list? Please inform me where improvements can be made and add your insights.
