  I though the fight was very close and found it hard to pick a winner. I tend to give the champion the benefit of the doubt in very close fights as I think its up to the challenger to win the fight.
  
  I only suggested Edgar might consider dropping to 145 as while he has been very successful fighting much bigger guys it has to take a lot out of him. I also think the Aldo fight would be massive for him and he might prefer that than hanging around 155 waiting for another title shot which might'nt happen for a while.

  He has said quite a lot he isnt interested moving down, he is very happy fighting the bigger guys and like I said before, the last fight proved he belongs at that weight. he was the better fighter and was the fresher fighter at the end of the fight. plus, the vast majority of people watching beleave he won, even Dana and the Fertitta brothers.
  
  The Aldo fight would only happen if the UFC allow Edgar to have that fight straight away and pay him Big money. That would piss alot of people off.

  and they will give him the fight straight away and they definitely will give him the big money, not a shadow of a doubt about that in my mind, it's not like there are so many challengers lining up for aldo anyway, dana has a hard on for that fight, the second frankie gives him any indication he's interested in any way, dana will pounce on that shit, he's already trying.
  
  yea frankie said he didn't wanna move down, but did you read what he said in his latest interviews - that he's gonna give it a week and then decide what to do and then that he "wouldn't have a problem making 145" and that "those guys usually walk around heavier than me anyway" - his words...

  I know that Edgar has always said he would'nt move down but I wonder if he will feel like he has little choice now as its hard to see him getting another crack at the title at 155 for a while. I think he could if he is guaranteed the fight with Aldo which I think he would be. It would be a great fight and would be interesting to see how Edgar would do against a similiar size guy.
  
  
  I'm not saying that I think he has to move down I'm just wondering from a career point of view whether it would be a wise move. There are'nt too many two weight champions about in UFC and he could always go back up again.

  Of course he would have no problem making 145 lol and yes if they offer the fight and the money he would probably take it, I did say that.
  
  As to say he wouldnt have much chance getting another shot at his current weight, WTF? 2 wins and he is back in the title fight. thats how it works. Who can beat him in that division? Henderson didnt the second fight and fight and the first fight was bloody close so i dont get why he wouldnt be able to get another crack at some point
  
  I too would like to see him fight Aldo, but the rest of the division is weak and thats the main reason he wants to stay put in truth. He likes the competition. But if the monies right, who knows

  either way the guy is a legend, he's been fighting oversized opponents a loooong time, and as the total opposite of BJ penn, frankie has made the absolute most of his abilities, he took them all the way.
  
  also is one of my fav fighters, i would be rooting for him in that fight, but i'd love to see him face the competition of edgar, hope it happens.
  
  the guy does get hit a lot at 155 HARD lol, nothing wrong with moving down
