I thought Frankie had a shot to win on the scorecards but when his best weapon (top game GnP) is negated by the submission wizard, that just leaves the shorter, smaller man no option but closing the distance on the feet. Sure enough, when closing the distance, Edgar was caught by a well-timed elbow and there was just a little too much time left in the round, and not enough time left in Edgar's career.

I will say I am curious now to see what would have happened once they had worked up a sweat and Frankie felt safe enough to try a takedown. Would he have had success on the ground, or would he have been submitted? We will never know, as we are unlikely to ever see Edgar vs Ortega 2. =( I'd love to see those two fight another 3-4 times.

Holloway vs Ortega: I like Max's chances simply because Ortega is yet to actually land a takedown in the UFC (!). And unless he can get the fight to the ground, he's gonna find being the shorter fighter a serious problem against the superior striker.

Finally, let's talk other match-ups at FW: Is it crazy to hope for Stephens vs Edgar? Stephens vs Aldo? Cub vs Stephens/Aldo? If not each-other, who is next for those 4 fighters?

Holloway - Ortega gotta happen on the Island.....energy would be volcanic.......Max is taller for sure but they have the same reach so should be pretty even range standup with Max being more polished but it will be a good match-up and historical for Hawaii either way........
