Great night of fights overall.
Aldo vs Edgar was a great fight. Frankie Edgar is a bad dude, got hit with a bunch of good punches and leg kicks but didn't really slow down at all. He fired back and found his range midway through the fight and ended up making it very competitive and once again Aldo ends a title defense pretty spent. Aldo's expression changed from a smile to that of a worried/much more respectful look pretty damn quick after Frankie cracked him with a few good right hands.
Aldo's jab and footwork were just a little too good early, but once he slowed down a bit Frankie started mixing it up pretty well. And Frankie had a pretty good slam.
I scored it 48-47 Aldo.
