It's a real shame that such a talented fighter like Frankie Edgar can't fight at his natural weight class because it would be too drastic of a pay cut. Despite getting slammed multiple times by the bigger Veach, he did a good job avoiding damage. His boxing and wrestling are a great combination. Too bad there was no play-by-play to acknowledge all those body shots. I would love to see Edgar get a title shot against Penn.
Damn him for getting that choke and not pounding Veach out. Cost me 4 playground points.
