Ross Pearson Heaps Praise on Frankie Edgar

Since Frankie Edgar cruised to another Unanimous Decision victory over long-time, lightweight king, BJ Penn last month, a collective ‘he IS that effin good’ has fired throughout the MMA world.

Since Frankie Edgar cruised to another Unanimous Decision victory over long-time, lightweight king, BJ Penn last month, a collective ‘he IS that effin good’ has fired throughout the MMA world. Of course, after Frankie took out BJ the first time, many observers of the sport remained somewhat unconvinced of Edgar’s standing, but now the Jersey fighter’s bandwagon is filling up with plenty of hop-ons and deservedly so.

For example, in a recent interview with Fighters Only Magazine, Ross Pearson talked in length about recent training sessions he’s had with the lightweight champ, and the British lightweight was obviously pretty damn impressed with Edgar’s game.

“I think Frankie is the kind of guy who is very scrappy, he has great wrestling, great foot speed, I think he can hold it for a while,”…“We did a good eight rounds and I enjoyed it. Like I say to everyone, you have to find [your opponent’s] weaknesses and exploit them but it was hard to find a weakness with Frankie. He had good stand-up, good footwork and his takedowns are unbelievable.”

Yeah, we’re thinking BJ would probably agree with the summary above, after all, until Penn ran into Edgar, we were all debating about when would be the appropriate time to officially unveil the ‘Congrats on Cleaning Out the Division’ banner. How the times have changed…Pearson is of course taking on Cole Miller at next week’s UFC Fight Night, which should be a fantastic bout—to bet head here.

Chuck Liddell Likely to Decide Future in Fighting this Month

Things have been relatively quiet on the Chuck Liddell retirement watch—perhaps this is due to the fact that most people can’t really imagine the legendary fighter returning, after being unofficially retired by UFC President Dana White for a second time in June.

Things have been relatively quiet on the Chuck Liddell retirement watch—perhaps this is due to the fact that most people can’t really imagine the legendary fighter returning, after being unofficially retired by UFC President Dana White for a second time in June. After all, even “The Iceman’s” biggest admirers have to be asking themselves if it’s not time for Chuck to focus on other “Dancing with the Stars” like endeavours from here on out; dude’s been violently stopped three fights in a row.

Despite his KO loss to Rich Franklin at UFC 115, Liddell has still not made “it official”, making a lot of people like us here at Fix conclude Chuck’s seriously thinking about fighting again. In a recent interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune, the former light-heavyweight champ was quoted saying:

“It’s about how I feel and if I want to go back and make a run at a title and how far away that would be. And whatever I think is left in the tank. I’ve been doing PR stuff for the last couple months, and I’ll finally be home for the month. I’ll probably decide sometime in September, when I have time to relax.”

“I don’t feel like there’s anything left to prove. I still love fighting, but there’s a lot that goes into it. Maybe it might be time. I’m just not sure yet.”

Now, we could be and often are wrong, but if you put on your read between the lines glasses for a second, don’t you think the sentence ‘if Dana lets me I’ll fight’ is visible?
